Book Review

When dinner and a movie sounds dull, those seeking more adventurous dates may look for a comprehensive guide to various out-of-the-norm activities, as well as tips for improved traditional dates.The authors of "Guide to Great Dates," Paul Joannides and Toni Johnson, have created a fairly comprehensive answer to the eternal question asked by friends, lovers and colleagues across the globe: "What do you want to do?"Although this book clearly has a fairly low production value and has more than a few glaring grammatical errors, it is a fun and interesting reference for those looking for a fun night out.Many of the suggestions for dates listed are obvious, but the guide luckily proves its relevance by including information on how much a date will cost and what is needed before the date, as well as a compilation of Internet resources that will assist daters in helping the date run smoothly.The book highlights less traditional prospective dates, such as sitting in on a murder trial, brewing your own beer, going to a corn maze, and building a sandcastle.These dates suggested in the "Guide to Great Dates" are innovative and fun, but many others are traditional, obvious dates with additional background information."Guide to Great Dates" also includes pros and cons to traditional options for dates, such as "Doing a Dinner Date at Home":"It is seriously a bad idea to invite someone to your home for dinner if it's your first date.

Island of Confusion

The Irish Classical Theatre Company is typically known for its high-quality productions. Although "The Island," by Athol Fugard, is not the most inspirational or captivating script to grace the stage at the Andrews Theatre, the quality of each individual component of the performance is singular in its meticulous devotion to recreating the atmosphere of a South African prison during apartheid.Directed by Jerry Pooe, "The Island" opens with two prisoners hard at work.
