The Tangential: Let’s Fight the Internet TV Axis... →
thetangential: I’m not going to get all George Bush Jr. on you by actually insinuating that something is evil and naming names. But we all know there are a few highly organized entertainment corporations out there actively working not to serve their customers, but to screw them over to keep a dying industry…

Workhouse Theatre's "Copenhagen" is a lot to wrap...
On paper, Copenhagen is a tough sell: raise your hand if you want to sit on a folding chair for two and a half hours watching three middle-aged white people arguing about morality, politics, and physics. But then, these aren’t just any middle-aged white people: they’re the people who, playwright Michael Frayn argues, virtually held the fate of the world in their hands in the 1940s....

“I hope you are doing well! :) Its me Prashanti here again and I am here to...”
