U.Va. Drama presents "The Voysey Inheritance"
U.Va.'s Drama Department is currently in the midst of its showing of "The Voysey Inheritance", a play that follows the story of Edward Voysey after he finds that his father has been misappropriating the funds of family clients. The story subsequently follows Voysey as he explores such universal themes as the strength of family bonds, situational morality and scandal. Exceptionally relevent in light of today's corporate scandals, "The Voysey Inheritance' serves as an expose on some of mankind's most basic, frightening tendencies. There will be 8:00 showings from April 23 to April 26 at Culbreth Theater.

All Tomorrow's Parties, a London-based festival that recently expanded into the United States, has just announced the 30-act lineup for its NYC show. Easily the most buzzed-about act is the recently reformed My Bloody Valentine, who garnered massive critical acclaim with their 1991 shoegaze masterpiece Loveless before going on hiatus. The group will make its first U.S. concert appearance in a little over a decade and a half at ATP. Built to Spill, Meat Puppets, Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth) and Tortoise will also appear, playing their definitive albums in full, while groups such as Mogwai, Polvo and Shellac will appear to play more traditional sets. The festival will take place in late September.
