Tycho:  Page Two of "In The Service Of The Queen" will be available shortly, as he's taking the process very seriously.  Writing ridiculous poems used to be something I did with much more frequency, though it still happens occasionally. I did, at one point, seize the entire site to host a comic musical about TRON.  The urge just rears up sometimes, swiping at the air with its claws, and I must feed it tender, rhyming couplets to bed it back down.

The men from Neil LaBute's new work discuss what they really thought about the way the play depicted male psychology. Their verdict? It's scarily dead on.

The stage adaptation of Reginald Rose's drama from the 1950's definitely creaks with age. But somehow the creaks begin to sound like soothing music.
