This NOS4A2 review contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 2.
NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 2
In a bisected episode, NOS4A2 digs deeply into the story of the show’s villain, Charlie Manx. On one hand, with trails of blood and ichor and a flayed open chest, “Good Father” tells the tale of his rebirth. Something gets Charlie Manx up off the slab and gives him juice enough to escape from police custody, after a great effort on his part. And in the other half of the episode? “Good Father” shows how a well-meaning dreamer goes from being a limo driver married to a beautiful, rich heiress to the dessicated vampire who opens the episode on a slab in a morgue and who lives off of the life energy of children brings home to Christmasland.
At certain points during the first season of NOS4A2, I must confess that I felt like Zachary Quinto’s performance...

A recent study caused waves in the pet world when it suggested that dogs might have an intelligence edge over cats, but don’t jump to conclusions so quickly. Quite a few other studies have shown that dogs don’t have great mathematical abilities, especially in comparison to wolves. Meanwhile, other less traditionally “smart” animals like fish and frogs, according to new research, are able to count. So, too, can chickens and some monkeys, although it’s hard to count on the research that’s been done with house cats thus far.

Disney can show you the world. Shining. Shimmering. Splendid. And given the mid-show standing ovation for “Friend Like Me” at every performance of Broadway’s Aladdin and the oohs and aahs of the young children who witness the literal magic carpet ride the show depicts, it’s safe to assume that Disney has its latest long-runner. (Now whether it can ever unseat The Lion King as the fourth longest-running show ever is another question.) In other news this week, Chris Pine and Lauren Ambrose will be taking on Sam Shepard’s lovers-in-squabble drama Fool for Love for three weeks in Williamstown,...

A man enters a woman’s apartment and, after leaving a few bills on a tray, enters her. That the scene takes place behind a lace curtain drawn decorously across the front of a dim stage does not render it any less clear. Nor does the curtain of time obscure much. (The number of buttons on the woman’s garments tells us we’re in a bygone era.) Coital grunts and pantings are, presumably, a constant throughout history, if human nature is itself constant. But is it? Is human nature even a constant in any one life?It’s something of an achievement that David Grimm’s Tales From Red Vienna, a Manhattan Theater Club production, manages to raise these questions despite being a jumbled soap opera with no discernable point of view. Or perhaps it’s merely an accident. Set in Vienna in 1920, the play tells the story of Heléna Altman,...
