Witness for the Prosecution at Albuquerque Little Theatre

The late, great Agatha Christie
The late, great Agatha Christie

I was surprised upon reading a Wikipedia entry on Agatha Christie to find out that the queen of literary crime is, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the best-selling novelist of all time. She also wrote a wealth of short stories, including 1925’s “The Witness for the Prosecution.” It was adapted into a play, and later a 1957 film starring Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton. The play is currently being staged at Albuquerque Little Theatre, showing tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Read all about ALT’s version of Witness for the Prosecution.

        What Is It Good For?

        "Military sexual trauma" is a government-imposed term used to convey rape and sexual assault inflicted upon members of the armed forces by other U.S. soldiers. It's also the subject of Donna Fiumano-Farley's A Shot Away: Personal Accounts of Military Sexual Trauma. The writer interviewed soldiers and used their words—verbatim—to create a narrative of the widespread but hush-hush injustices that affect women and men in uniform. It's not a traditional play, and it's not just a series of monologues. The stories of seven soldiers—one speaking from the grave—are woven together. The end result is a portrait of the horrific practices and strange military regulations that enable ongoing sexual misconduct in the military. This is the third staging of the piece, after shows in NYC and St. Louis. Final shows Friday, Jan. 27 through Sunday, Jan. 29. $16, $12 students and seniors. auxdog.com.

        There's never been a more accessible time for music, which is great for the fan/collector, good for the musician and bad for the shops that sell it. Case in point: Natural Sound, Albuquerque's oldest independent record shop, is closing this week.

        Set in 1984 with references Orwell's classic, Haruki Murakami's new novel 1Q84 is a nearly thousand page saga named after the imaginary year that the disoriented main character thinks she lives in. Her descent into madness makes for creepy, unsettling reading.
