Things to do this week.
Stagestruck: Plain Jane
Jane Eyre may be the most-adapted of 19th-century English novels, with dozens of film and TV renditions. But stage versions can do something the book does that screen versions don’t. Charlotte Bronte’s narrative is in the voice of Jane herself, and so is the play now at Hartford Stage.

Clueless Parent: Another one on the way

The V-Spot: Dating clichés that need to go
So many sex and dating clichés, so many hot-tub induced yeast-infections, accidental sex farts, and awkward threesomes. Here’s to half-a-dozen intimate “ideals” that gotta go: ∎ Subtly hit on your crush. No. Make that flirting obvious as hell. I don’t mean in a...
