With plenty to do on a Monday night, here are three alternatives sure to delight and entertain you: A modern adaptation of a 19th Century Russian playwright, more rarely seen clips from the mind of Jim Henson, and mildly scandalous tales shared anonymously by people who could be sitting right next to you.

This Week In Theater: Buckled Swashes, Impish Delights and Halloween Ascendant
As we had discussed last week, this week sees an increase in horror and Halloween themed shows, but not to the exclusion of other productions. This week, we see a Fringe Theater stalwart bring the self-generative to the forefront, a classic tale presented for kids, a condensed operetta and the big Shakespeare company making with the shakey shake, and three can't miss productions that are perfectly in spirit with the coming holiday.

Tonight in Seattle, you could watch the Mariners develop future talent for other ball teams, potentially witness the innermost secrets of the person next to you, and see the cartoons that have gathered accolades across the globe.

DEAD ALIVE: Touted as "The Goriest Fright Film of All Time," Dead Alive (aka Braindead) will be playing tonight at Central Cinema. And yes, they will be featuring Peter Jackson's director's cut with the full lawnmower scene. The plot sounds fantastic--a woman is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey, dies, and comes back to life to kill and eat DOGS, among other living creatures. It doesn't get much more awesome than that.

A PLAY OF MAGICAL THINKING: Intiman Theatre presents The Year of Magical Thinking, a play by well-known and much-loved author Joan Didion, based on her bestselling memoir of the same name. Directed by Sama Lapine and starring Judith Roberts, this beautiful show relives the heartbreaking aftermath of Didion losing her husband of 40 years while her daughter lay in intensive care, and how she coped with her grief.
