The Affair Season 5 Episode 11
“When the shit hits the fan, we show up.”
Some series finales tend to take a more humble and understated approach as they go gently into the night. The Affair series finale is a final installment that’s big in as many ways as possible. Not only is this a 90-minute offering, but it begins in a grandiose way with a quote from Richard Wilbur's poem, "The Writer." This is an eerily perfect quotation to utilize in regards to The Affair's finale.
"The Writer" is a poem about a father who wishes his daughter good luck, but beyond its surface level it's actually about the difficulties and challenges of being a writer. The...

Ron Moody in 'Oliver!' movie. Ron Moody: 'Oliver!' actor nominated for an Oscar dead at 91 (Note: This Ron Moody article is currently being revised.) Two well-regarded, nonagenarian British performers have died in the last few days: 93-year-old Christopher Lee (June 7, '15), best known for his many portrayals of Dracula and assorted movie villains and weirdos, from the title role in The Mummy to Dr. Catheter in Gremlins 2: The New Batch. 91-year-old Ron Moody (yesterday, June 11), among whose infrequent film appearances was the role of Fagin, the grotesque adult leader of a gang of boy petty thieves, in the 1968 Best Picture Academy Award-winning musical Oliver!, which also earned him a Best Actor nomination.

The Pearl Theatre Company is pleased to present the fourth play of its 25 th Anniversary Season; Moli?re's riotous comedy Tartuffe. The production will open March 30, 2009. This wickedly gleeful comedy offers the story of the hypocritical Tartuffe and his designs on the affluent (and painfully gullible) Orgon. Orgon's family must find a way to break Tartuffe's hold on them before they lose everything - and it won't be easy. In The Pearl Theatre Company's production of Tartuffe, Moli?re's madcap dance of cunning plans and comic irrationality, the question is: what will win the day - blind faith or common sense? "This translation is Richard Wilbur's masterpeice", says Tartuffe Director, Gus Kaikkonen. In this revival, Kaikkonen plans to explore what happens when an entire family combats each other, all in the name of love.
