Part of what makes the Capital Fringe Festival so exciting is the fast pace at which some of its productions develop. This year’s festival just wrapped, but Taffety Punk Theatre Company won’t let the zany die: Today, the scrappy troupe unveils another installment in its Bootleg Shakespeare series. This year Taffety has picked the Bard’s Love’s Labours Lost; it’s one of Shakespeare’s most lighthearted works, so who knows—maybe its sure-to-be-rough edges will make for even better comedy.

EAT THIS
Nothing breaks up the beginning-of-the-week doldrums like a weird food holiday no one’s ever heard of. Celebrate National Oyster Day in style at P.J. Clarke’s, which will offer 50 cent oysters and $3.50 DC Braus between 2:45 p.m. and 7 p.m. (If you have a job that lets you eat oysters and drink beer at 2:45 on a Monday, we want to know where you work.) For those of us who can’t knock off work until after 7 p.m., the K street saloon is also offering Oysters Rockefeller for $8.10 all day long. P.J. Clarke’s, 1600 K St. NW. (202) 463-6610. pjclarkes.com/dc/. (Sarah Kaplan)
