Eclectic Theatre Co.'s production of Henrik Ibsen's (@ Odd Duck Studio, 1214 10th Ave., Thurs.-Sun. until Dec. 20; tickets $20) is at best a mixed affair, not terrible but deeply flawed, and depressingly so since it fails in exactly the ways you expect a small theatre to succeed. Without money for big sets, fancy digs, and all that stuff, small "fringe" theatre companies are supposed to be about the acting and the story, but in this case the adaptation of a great play makes it just a bit too melodramatic, and the acting just isn't what it should be.

We have plenty of good ghost stories here in Seattle. If you're looking for something non-work-related and kinda thrilling to think about for awhile, check over at HistoryLink for a list of some of the spookiest Seattle-related tales on record! Of the ghosts in the article, we'd most like to meet Howard, "a delightful old codger" of a spirit at the College Inn Pub. After HistoryLink, you can head over to the AGHOST website to learn about a real-life Pacific Northwest ghost hunting and research team. OoooOOOooo....
