Euripides dramatized issues that still resonate today.
THEATER REVIEW: Blue Door
Tanya Barfield's Blue Door — in the Arden Theatre Co.'s smart, engaging production — postulates that our past (and, particularly, the denial of it) influences who we are today.
Slought unearths the fruits of a deadly obsession.
The thousand-plus pieces that make up Harris' personal collection have
an end built right into them — from nearly every canvas, print,
sculpture, carving and Grateful Dead T-shirt stares the hollow eyes of
a skull.
Editor's Letter
Should we ignore what happens in our front yard?
While the story does revolve around an incident between Officer Kevin
Corcoran and drunk reveler Michael Foley, at the heart of the piece is
the always-tricky business of police accountability — the old trope of
"Who watches the watchmen?"
Loose Canon
Feedback
What You Say
"Evidently the government is under sway of pragmatism akin to nature."
Choosy diners probably won't choose Chew Man Chu.
These Asian plates are meant to be shared — but they're also designed
to be accessible for unadventurous eaters. In other words, if
authenticity is your sole yardstick, Chew's food will fall short.
Burger Maestro
The music-themed Maestro boasts a taut selection of prime burgers,
chicken breast sandwiches and all-beef frankfurters split down the
middle and dressed up with whatever you can imagine.

Theater Review
THEATER REVIEW: Philadelphia Theatre Co.'s Golden Age
Golden Age, receiving its world première at Philadelphia Theatre Co., never really arrives.
Agenda Lead
Architects envision more than condos when they look at Philly's industrial bones.
Where many developers once saw an opportunity to cram as many
high-paying tenants into a building as possible, others are beginning
to see potential anchors of communities — just what those industrial
buildings were in the first place.
The Philadelphia Center for Architecture's upcoming exhibit, "Retooling Industrial Sites," reveals this new creed borne out.
Agenda Picks
Sun., Feb. 7, noon-5 p.m., free, begins at Fat Tuesday, 431 South St., 215-629-5999, fat-tuesday.com.
Finally, a chance to reuse that crusty, beer-soaked Mummers costume you toiled on all year long.

They do. That's the problem.
He was an asshole who'd had way too much to drink and was looking for a fight, and in a different
scenario with different characters and different magnitudes, Michael Foley may
have deserved a fraction of what ended up coming to him. But it would have been only a fraction, and it wouldn't have been doled out by a cop.
All the news we care to print.
Man Overboard!
Beneath Pennsylvania's forests lies a treasure worth billions of dollars.
A March 2009 memo warned that too much leasing would "scar the
economic, scenic, ecological and recreational values of the forest,"
and that "a rush to drill threatens the certification of our state
forests as sustainably managed."
They did it anyway.

The real gems at this year's Sundance came when no one expected them.
The festival's programmers deliberately front-load the opening weekend
for maximum coverage, which means that come Monday, the only way to get
