Bargain hunters on the prowl
Let the shopping madness begin. Today is Black Friday -- the day retailers have been waiting for all year, hoping to make up for lagging sales. "We're expecting a really good crowd," Melbourne Square mall Manager John Campbell said. "A lot of our stores are having some great sales."

Theater Review (NYC): Catch-22 by Aquila Theatre
I am crazy about this company. The actors leap off the page and celebrate, big time. I am CRAZY about this company. C-R-A-Z-Y. These actors leap off the page and celebrate big time. I have long espoused multiple casting, but Aquila Theatre takes this to a whole new level. Seven actors play 25 roles. They do it well. They do it SO well that it took me awhile to realize there were so few ...

'Roomers' takes the title
Telegraph staff reports "Roomers" is about a small space filled with an alarming number of mostly alarming people. Unlike anything else Jerome McDonough has ever written, "Roomers" is a play in which madness rules with no hint of underlying black comedy or horror.

Presidency, Sprüth Magers, London
In February 1962, Jacqueline Kennedy, criticised for over-spending, took Americans on a TV tour of the White House. Opening one door, the First Lady whispered to camera, "This is the Blue Room." Then, after a thoughtful pause, "It's ... blue." It is a moment Thomas Demand might relish, although he has gone for shape rather than colour in his new works on the Oval Office.

Actor to play 40 roles
Last Christmas when we were in New York, we stopped in at the Palm Court at the Plaza Hotel, where we had dined many times before going to a matinee performance. But the maitre'd brusquely told us: "I'm sorry, but we're fully committed." We wondered what exactly the Palm Court was committed to. Was it committed to peace in Iraq or the United Way or maybe to the New York Food Bank?

Hester: The remarkable life of Dr Johnson's 'Dear Mistress', By Ian McIntyre
When Johnson first went to dinner with her, in 1765, she was Hester Thrale. Her husband, Henry, was a philandering, fox-hunting MP and the owner of a lucrative brewery in his constituency, the Borough of Southwark. Dinner was at an insalubrious spot in Dead Man's Place, near a vinegar factory and the old Clink prison. The venerable lexicographer was easily the most important visitor ever to go ...

Canvas crash - As the world economy melts down, the art market suffers a huge setback
Art is the ultimate luxury. And when we lose our spending power frills like art are the first casualties. It is a law of nature that a bust will follow a boom as inevitably as night follows day, and almost overnight Indian contemporary art has no takers.
