Bedlam does these Zoomed readings right.  That's almost certainly because the stripped-down, unadorned style of presentation the company employs in live performance lends itself to remote performances from the actors' separate apartments, viewed on each audience member's monitor in their own apartments.  Tonight they do Ibsen's Hedda Gabler — almost certainly a play Chekhov had in mind as a positive example when he made his famous remark about guns in theater pieces.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Fernando:  pour 3/4 oz. each of Gin, Linie Aquavit, and lemon juice, with a dash of Angostura bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Garnish with a lemon peel.
