THEATER: The sordid, bloody saga of Mary, Queen of Scots has been dramatized by British-born playwright and poet Glyn Maxwell in a production that gets its American premiere tonight. Called The Lifeblood, it was originally seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2004, where a London paper wrote, “Glyn Maxwell's script somehow manages to suggest the rhythm and structure of Shakespearean language while keeping it in a modern context. It feels like the history play Shakespeare never wrote.” The Phoenix Theater Ensemble production centers around the final days of Mary Stuart, leading up to her execution. “A prisoner of her cousin Queen Elizabeth, Mary Queen of Scots, decides whether her plight is worth the risks of escape, only to find that political intriguers have made that choice for her.” – John Del Signore

Friday // 8pm // Connelly Theatre [220 East 4th St] // Tickets cost $20

ART: This week the Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far exhibit opened at Deitch. The interactive exhibit is the brainchild of Stefan Sagmeister, one of today’s most innovative and influential graphic designers. "The exhibition will include works that have a life of their own, transforming throughout the exhibition as viewers engage with them. It is timed to coincide with the release of a new book of the same title, which surveys Sagmeister’s illustrious career."

Saturday // Noon to 6pm // Deitch Projects [76 Grand St] // Free

MUSIC: The Teenagers have been all over town this week, and Saturday they'll be performing a free in-store at Cake Shop (upstairs). The international synth-pop trio will likely perform their sonic homage to Scarlett Johansson, not so subtly-titled "Starlett Johansson".

THEATER: Sweden’s most highly regarded contemporary playwright, Lars Norén, made a stir in 1999 when two convicted cop killers received a furlough to participate in one of his plays. There’s no convict casting in Rattlestick’s production of his play WAR, but a provocative evening is promised nonetheless. Using multi-ethnic casting, Norén’s play turns a taut tale of family dynamics into a history of genocide in our century. “It is a year of ethnic cleansing. A mother and her two daughters, their father missing and presumed dead, think only of survival. When the father returns unexpectedly, they must confront a world gone completely wrong.” John Del Signore

Saturday // 8pm // Rattlestick Theater [224 Waverly Place] // Tickets cost $40.
