Cross-dressing witch adds charm to Macbeth

Synetic Theater, a group participating in Washington’s six monthlong Shakespeare festival, has accomplished what Cliff’s Notes and Hollywood have been trying to do for decades: it has given aggravated students Shakespeare without its most troubling component: Shakespeare.

This winter’s global warning

There is no sound that brings greater joy to my heart than the crisp “zip” of corduroy-clad thighs rubbing merrily against each other as they make their way down snow-filled streets. The rustle of a wool crepe coat, the swish of a lambs wool scarf jauntily arranged about a toasty neck and the smart clip of a buttery leather boot are music to my ears. These sounds usher in the winter season, a magical three months filled with sledding, good cheer, and according to statistics, lots of baby-making.

Halfway through winter break, with all the current TV shows on a holiday hiatus, I had grown tired of dabbling in The West Wing, Seinfeld and Weeds and without an engaging television drama to amuse me, I took a desperate measure.

Top 10 Albums and Films of 2006

1. Clipse:Hell Hath No Fury

Clipse’s sophomore release, Hell Hath No Fury, comes a full four years after their debut, Lord Willin’. The sibling pair of Pusha T and Malice comes roaring back, delivering the year’s most consistent and confrontational hip-hop album. With Pusha T’s confidence and Malice’s ambition, it’s clear the duo isn’t going to disappear. It doesn’t hurt, of course, that they’re backed by the best beats of the year, a bleak, sparse set arranged by the Neptunes. “Trill” and “Chinese New Year” are particularly strong, though the album’s most impressive characteristic is its utter lack of filler. Hell Hath No Fury never falters, hitting with a tightness seldom seen in modern hip-hop.
