A Man's Effort to Protect His Sons Comes at a Cost in "The Walworth Farce"

The only member of the family who leaves the flat is Sean, who makes a daily trip to the supermarket to fetch the props for that evening’s performance (roast chicken figures prominently in their little production and doubles as the family’s dinner). They have maintained this exact routine for 20 years. They clearly follow the creed that the show must go on.

David Mamet Explores Feminine Matters in "Boston Marriage"

Penned in 1999, it’s a calculated departure from Mamet’s previous work, not only lacking his usual aggressive alpha males but devoid of males onstage entirely—though they’re certainly discussed as being depraved, good-for-nothing vermin.

Lush’s Henna Hair Dye
By Style Intern

Trying to pair your newly acquired summer skin with a head of dark Kardashian hair usually ends poorly; average dyes actually rough up the cuticle of the hair, entering each strand and allowing sun to damage it.  Ultimately, you end up with a head of brassy, orange streaks by the end of August.  To keep [...]

Sick of Color? Try Leather and Lace….
By Mark Longacre

Everyone knows this season’s hottest trend is pastels.  They’re the most fun way to ring in the warm weather, but looking like a human crayola box is only fun for so long.  Eventually, the novelty of wearing colors wears off, and you want to go back to black.
