  • "Vinegar Tom": It's not the McCarthy hearings but the contemporary fear and desire of women that gets a going-over in Caryl Churchill's play at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa. Music reminiscent of the 1950s is juxtaposed with 17th-century English witch hunts to ask where today's witches are and whether we enjoy watching them punished. At 8 p.m. today and Saturday at Earle Ernst Lab Theatre; $10 ($9 seniors, military, UH faculty/staff, students; $3 UHM students). 956-7655.
