October's Short List, Before the Island Fills Up

Town & Country has put together its October picks: the films, television, exhibitions, plays, and books it thinks are worth your time this month. There is more on offer than anyone could get through, so the list does the choosing. It's worth keeping on hand for the quiet evenings on the North End before the calendar gets crowded, and for the flight north if you have one booked. Read it with coffee and circle a few before the invitations start coming in.
