BWW Review: Rarely Seen in the US CALENDAR GIRLS Sheds a Delicious Naughtiness at Group rep

The 2003 film Calendar Girls was produced in the US with a British cast starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters. It is a delightful comedy and a sweet ode to women, who, dissatisfied with many lifestyle choices, try quite earnestly to raise the bar. In 2008 it was made into a play and has been a best seller in the UK, probably because it takes place in and pays homage to Yorkshire. Now under Larry Eisenberg's keen and caring direction, Calendar Girls, rarely produced in the US, has a sturdy production with a sterling cast at Group rep in NoHo through October 9.

Linda Howell Betz's New Novel FREEFALL is Released

In a modern America in which MTV's "16 and Pregnant" is passed off as amusing entertainment for kids and drug-fueled teen comedies abound on cable television, a deeper look at the dark side of the teen experience still finds its way through from time to time. Linda Howell Betz's new novel FREEFALL, from Indigo River Publishing, is just that kind of book. Set in the Midwest from the late 1940s through the early 1960s-a seemingly more innocent time in American culture-the book follows the downward spiral of teenage mother Estelle Prebilica as she sinks into a nightmare of abuse, drugs, prostitution, and murder. The book is ultimately meant to be a story of maturation and redemption, but not before the young Estelle passes through a hellish labyrinth in the dark underbelly of the Midwest.
