Here's your Metro Weekly Sneak Peek for Dec. 6, 2007:

COVER STORY: Return of the King
It was the late 1990s when Wallace Acton decided he'd had his fill of metropolitan Washington. He packed his bags and moved to New York. But he's back, at least through Jan. 6, playing the lead in Edward II at the Shakespeare Theatre Company. It's a role that would be hard for any serious, gay actor to turn down.
