  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs.

    Theatre

    Henry IV

    Shakespeare? Of course. But this kingly classic is directed by Beth Burns for the Hidden Room, is based on a new adaptation by Dr. Ralph Alan Cohen, and features a cast worth shouting about infused with a rowdy glam-rock aesthetic. Which means that this ain't your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather's Henry IV, this is your chance to see the Bard's work presented with incomparable theatrical power and style. Bonus: live music from Shoulders' Todd Kassens.
    Through Oct. 1. Thu.-Sat., 8pm; Sun., 5pm. $15-30.

    Paris, Texas (1984)

    Harry Dean Stanton Memorial Screening: The road trips undertaken by Wenders' characters are like no others. After an absence of several years, a man tries to recover his relationship with his absent wife and son. The roundabout screenplay written by Sam Shepard and adapted by L.M. Kit Carson, the dreamy cinematography by Robby Müller, and the dessicated performances of the living dead all leave their memorable residue.

    The War on Drugs, Land of Talk

    Adam Granduciel shared some core influences in Rolling Stone recently, all of them heard on his Philly sextet’s fourth album, A Deep Understanding. Opener “Up All Night” breezes Springsteen, while radio runner “Holding On” bleats the Jeff Lynne treble of ELO. Airy, melancholic, romantic, the August LP takes flight in a digital reverie (“Strangest Things”), but hits hyperspace on a motorik uptick (“Nothing to Find”). First night already sold out.
