Ethan Hawke

Film Review: “Tesla” — The Romance of Invention

This ambitious biopic is a valuable reminder that the films in this genre need not be formulaic or grandiose. In fact, they are at their most appealing when they channel the idiosyncrasy and mystery of their subjects.

Film Feature: Ethan Hawke — The Quest for Authenticity

Ethan Hawke’s goal as an artist is to connect meaningfully with the world — avoiding artifice is essential in terms of his acting, directing, and writing.

By planning ahead, and purchasing one flexpass, I was able to see a trio of plays in New York during a single weekend for well under $200 — a bargain price for world-class theater productions.

Theater Review Round-up: Our Man in London

It should be pointed out that in London it is possible to see more shows in a limited time than one can do in the United States. Why?
