Private Lives charms Fort Walton Beach in dinner theater run
Noel Coward's Private Lives gets a timeless lift from National Conservatory Theatre in a dinner theater staging at the Black Angus Restaurant. Stars Kathleen Levin and Maurice Cecchini anchor the two-couple comic clash as Destin's Tal Heyward shines, while Diana Carter wows despite crutches, delivering Coward's wry dialogue with restrained wit. Performances run Thursday to Saturday through September 29.

Tough Guys Don't Dance by Norman Mailer review
Paul Maryniak notes Tim Madden, Mailer's latest novel set in Provincetown, blends mystery and autobiography. A man spirals through addiction after his wife leaves, wakes to a severed head and blood in his car, while the police suspect him. The piece praises Mailer's vivid detail and themes of violence.
