I went and saw a play last night by a newish theater company in DC called Taffety Punk. The performance was a new work titled "Let X" and was a clever exercise in deconstructing a play. It reminded me a bit of Pirandello's "Six Characters In Search of an Author" with some Beckett and Stoppard thrown in. The performance space was fairly small but the production made very good use of the odd configuration. Overall, it was well acted and well written -- I had a good time and enjoyed myself. A few weeks ago I went to a party/fundraiser for Taffety Punk held by a friend of mine where I got to meet some of the cast and the author. I like what they are trying to do for DC theater and I hope they are successful.

Speaking of Beckett, this article from the Onion is hilarious.
