appeared to be coloring in her coloring book. I realize that that day was a Double Star Day, which means you get double the number of star rewards you would get on any other day.

Scout introduces us to Maycomb, “a tired old town” where people shuffle around with nothing to do, and to Calpurnia, her family’s servant, an African American woman with a hand as “wide as a bed slat and twice as hard.” Calpurnia is the disciplinarian in their household, the female figure who picks up the slack left behind by Scout’s mother, who died when she was two. Scout doesn’t remember her mother,…

His celebrated plays include Arms and the Man, You Never Can Tell and The Devil’s Disciple. His works present a bold intellectual criticism sugar-coated by a pretended lightness of tone.

“Indignation” is probably the best drama you can find today in New York theaters.
