I'm good for a recommendation of just about anything Eliza Bent writes:  her whacky, engaged pieces are incredibly appealing.  But this one -- a mash-up of Beyoncé and Chekhov (The Fiancée, duh) -- has my name on it:  two of my favorite figures in all world culture, in one theatrical presentation!  (Not sure how much of a presence Bey will actually be in this piece, though.)  Speaking of personal favorites, here's a shout-out to Rolls André, one of my favorite actors about town.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:   Modern Israeli Taboon focuses on meats, fish, and breads cooked in its huge wood-fired oven (tabun in Arabic, as it happens).
