And nobody in all of Scotland is ever gonna bring her down. That’s the thesis, more or less, of Macbeth (An Undoing), a production from the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh now at Brooklyn’s Theater for a New Audience, that strives to do for Lady Macbeth (Nicole Cooper) what Wicked did for the Wicked Witch of the West. But Zinnie Harris’s play never defies gravity in its laborious quest to reimagine and center Lady Macbeth’s story.
Perhaps Harris hasn’t seen a decent production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The smart ones articulate without textual revision what Macbeth (An Undoing) goes to such unsubtle lengths to declaim: Lady Macbeth is the more powerful, ingenious, compelling character, and it’s her coolly competent ambition, not her husband’s, that motors this play. No argument there.
What especially bothers Harris isn’t the ferocity but the fragility in the original Lady Macbeth’s villainy,...

Eric Szmanda returned to the CSI franchise on CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 17, reprising his role from the original series, and he is sticking around a bit longer.
TV Fanatic chatted with him about his comeback, how he's interacting with everyone, and how long he's sticking around.
Check it out.
Hi Eric. It's great to see you on CSI: Vegas. What made you decide to return to the franchise?
The fans. I really missed the character, and when the show started, many fans asked where I was. The more time that went on, I felt I needed to do this.
What kind of story did they pitch to get you to return?
There was no pitch. I got the script and discovered what I would be doing and what little bits of information they were given about where Greg had been.
So where has Greg been?
I like to think that...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 17, “The Promise.”] “I want me a ‘Koala’!” Paula Newsome told franchise creator Anthony Zuiker (referring to the Marg Helgenberger-centric episode earlier this season), and she got it with the latest CSI: Vegas. When a young girl’s remains are found 40 years after her murder, her mother (Regina Taylor) doesn’t exactly trust the cops … until Max proves she can. Zuiker, who co-wrote the episode (with Alex Berry), and Newsome take us inside the powerful hour. Anthony, why did you want to tell this story? Anthony Zuiker: One of my goals this season was to write two big solos, one for Marg Helgenberger [“Koala”], [and] one for Paula Newsome. I knew that based on the bodies in the barrel that were found in Lake Mead kind of linked to mob hits was one way to go. I didn’t want to do a cliché mob story, but I...
