From Nov. 6 to Nov. 9, the Hopkins theater program presented show-stopping performances of “Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde.” Written by Moisés Kaufman and directed by Sean Elias, the show offered a unique look at the downfall of Wilde’s career and an introspective view on the role of the artist in society.

After three back-to-back films fixating on the nature of human desire and love, Luca Guadagnino’s newest release, After the Hunt, forgoes his past thematic patterns in favor of a story meant to examine the ethical struggles of various power dynamics in higher education.
This week, we grapple with Halloween hangover and the countdown to fall recess. In this liminal space on the calendar, days feel like weeks.

As October creeps in each year, the world awaits with bated breath the names recognized by the Nobel Committee as those that have conferred “the greatest benefit to humankind.” This year, the coveted literary honor was awarded to the Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai for his unique vision of the apocalypse.
At the end of 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, evil had been vanquished, and a new day of the Disney+ TV series would fill the empty void to satisfy fans of the iconic series. That is, until interviews revealed a potential 10th episode of the saga, one that could have changed everything.
