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.
Spring Arts Preview 2020
Spring is in the air. Sort of. In some ways, after a snowy start, it has felt that winter didn’t come at all. But with clocks about to change to Daylight Savings (on Sunday, March 8!) it’s time to come out of our shells and check out a good show or museum.
Cinemadope: Toon in — animation for the late-night crowd
Unspooling at 9:45 — the late start alone should give you a sense that these aren’t Looney Tunes
Clueless Parent: Another one on the way
We’ve told our 3-year-old son. Sort of.
Stagestruck: Facts & Fancies
In these fake-news days, when fiction rules the cybersphere and truth is called a lie (and vice versa), the lifespan of a fact can be the length of a tweet (if it’s not stillborn).

As director Tracy Brigden says in her program note, “When does a bit of embellishment become a lie?”

The V-Spot: Feeling Rough
Ladies, when it comes to bangin’ banging, if you do the crime, you gotta do the time. Though this “time” can come in many forms, such as cramping, bruises, welts, and off-cycle vaginal bleeding, rarely will you get slapped with a life sentence. Sexual pleasure, much...

Stagestruck: “Hir” and Now
Playwright Taylor Mac has described Hir as “a kitchen-sink drama.” Which is fair, as long as you understand that the sink in question is full of filthy dishes and fresh vomit. The genre- and gender-bending play, at Shakespeare & Company through October 7, begins...
