Blind Item Received:
    What Looong running Off-Broadway show (with no plans to be made into a movie) has started charging a $1 Facility Charge per ticket? Yet there's no notice to that effect on the price signs in the lobby of the theatre. Guess September 11th didn't make them blue.
I didn't realize that the facility charge was to fix up a theatre that the production trashes every night...

THEATER REVIEW | 'OTHELLO'
A Revolt Against God With No Apology by BEN BRANTLEY
The amazing Liev Schreiber presents a tic-ridden, sexually crippled Iago who is as mad as a rabid raccoon in the Public Theater's fast-paced production.

A More Modern Moor of Venice
Although it is one of the most popular of Shakespeare's tragedies, "Othello" has been slightly out of fashion in recent years. Shaw questioned how tragic a play could be if it hinged on losing a handkerchief. Some have found Othello's gullibility irritating.

SHAKY-SPEARE by DONALD LYONS
'OTHELLO" is a tricky play to wrap one's mind around.It's about a noble black warrior married to the daughter of one Venice's most bigoted senators.

SUN SETTING ON KING OF BROADWAY MUSICALS? By CLIVE BARNES
