Carnage presents a no-holds barred commentary on the compromises of marriage, misogyny, blue collar/white collar prejudice, how parents instill values into their children and more. This is one battle you don’t want to miss, and Brook Hall has brought in international director Jaime Zuniga to skillfully “referee” it all.
Will any man, woman or marriage be left standing at the end of this tragicomedy?

■ Tickets are NT$600, available through www.accupass.com/go/carnage. Opening night is sold out. For more information go to: thelabtw.com

It was an obvious fake, and at that time I was administrating two enormous discussion groups devoted to early Christian history, which hosted numerous scholars in
Jan. 25 to Jan. 30 It was the beginning of the end when Dutch sergeant Hans Jurgen Radis walked out of Fort Zeelandia and surrendered to the besieging army of Cheng Cheng-kung (鄭成功, also known as Koxinga). The Dutch had already been trapped in the fort for nine months, and they were sick, hungry and in despair. After one defection during the early days of the siege, Dutch commander Frederick Coyett set up checkpoints around the fort’s perimeter, in what is today’s Tainan. Radis told his bunkmate he was going hunting, but by the time they realized where
