Concert: Alice Cooper
Not one to rest on his blood-drenched laurels, shock-rock pioneer Alice Cooper still releases new albums every few years and they’re mostly fantastic; his latest, “The Revenge of Alice Cooper,” reunites him with original band members going back to 1971. He’ll bring his more recent lineup with him when he plays Budweiser Stage (909 Lake Shore Blvd.) Monday night, along with a Grand Guignol spectacle, replete with monsters, pyro, guillotine and a great big boa constrictor. Also sharing the bill: Judas Priest and Corrosion of Conformity. —Doug Brod
TV: ‘House of Guinness’
The prolific Steven Knight (“Peaky Blinders,” “A Thousand Blows”) takes on another dysfunctional family in this highly bingeable series, which dropped on Netflix this week. Instead of Birmingham gangsters, the scions of Guinness beer are the focus. It’s a sexy, cheeky drama, enlivened by contemporary Irish music (including the controversial Kneecap) and populated by a crackerjack cast, led by ubiquitous Irish actor Anthony Boyle and Brit Louis Partridge (“Disclaimer”) as brothers Arthur and Edward. —Debra Yeo
Theatre: ‘The Sankofa Trilogy’
“The Sankofa Trilogy,” d’bi.young anitafrika’s seminal series of plays, has returned to Toronto and is now running in repertory at the Theatre Centre (1115 Queen St. W.). The three solo shows — “blood.claat,” “benu” and “word! sound! powah!” — are each also directed and performed by anitafrika, who refers to this theatrical triptych as biomyth monodramas, “integrating personal biography, myth-making and critical re-framing.” The interconnected plays follow three generations of Sankofa women, and since premiering 20 years ago, the shows have won a slew of awards, including two Doras. This new production runs through Oct. 12. If you’re down for a marathon, you can catch all three shows in one day on Oct. 11 and 12. —Joshua Chong
TV: ‘Black Rabbit’
Did you enjoy two hours and 15 minutes of white-knuckle agony with the masterpiece “Uncut Gems”? Well, how about another eight hours of pure uncut stress? Jason Bateman continues his heel turn in “Black Rabbit,” where he plays the gambling, murderous degen brother of club-owning degen Jude Law. Once reunited, nothing good can happen, up to and including arson, skimming, lies, occasional dismemberment and endless flop-sweat-covered schemes to drum up the large sums of cash needed to stay ahead of mobsters and investors. Will the brothers make it out of this miniseries? Hop to it and find out. —Briony Smith
