TICKETS + INFORMATION

Leonie Bell’s antic Post-Epic Theater is exactly the kind of thing This List was created for: people who think they don’t like This Kind Of Thing would love this — if only they’d go. GO!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, Roman pinsa at Montesacro. Streaming at home, have a Glühwein: zest and then juice 1/2 an orange; reserve. Boil 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar until sugar has completely dissolved. Add 20 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 2 whole star anise, along with the reserved orange zest and orange juice. Simmer until syrupy. Pour in a bottle of red wine. Lower the heat and let it barely simmer for 20 mins. to 3 hours (really 1/2 hour is fine). (I’m not telling you to drink this all at one sitting — but I’m not telling you not to, either.)
