West End Productions Presents TRAVELS WITH MY AUNT At N4th
by BWW News Desk - January 07, 2019
West END PRODUCTIONS' 2019 season kicks off on February 22nd with TRAVELS WITH MY AUNT. Four of Albuquerque's favorite actors - Kenneth Ansloan, Tim Crofton, Tim MacAlpine and Harry Zimmerman, under the direction of Cy and Jane Hoffman, play the many characters, including the central figure, sometimes simultaneously! Four middle-aged men, each dressed in a black suit, with a black tie, sporting a black bowler hat and a red carnation in his jacket button-hole, sit facing the audience. It is not the most exciting way to start a theatrical journey, but Scottish playwright Giles Havergal's sly adaptation of Graham Greene's comic novel turns stylistic economy into a stylish statement, as it tells the odyssey of a very dull retired bank manager who reunites with his seventy-five-year-old aunt at his mother's cremation, which leads to a considerable change in his life and much excitement.

by Zoe Burke - December 16, 2018
'I don't think the world likes women much,' Hester La Negrita says to her case worker during the first act of Aux Dog's production of Suzan Lori-Parks's In The Blood. The play (which drew connections to the #metoo movement, as pointed out in a program note from Artistic Director Victoria J Liberatori) was a harrowing and emotional study in the ways in which a disadvantaged woman can be abused by the system that is, theoretically, in place to help her.

BWW Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST at The Santa Fe Playhouse
by Zoe Burke - November 30, 2018
Oscar Wilde's 1895 satire, The Importance of Being Earnest, is arguably his most popular, and almost definitely his most widely performed, work. Director Barbara Hatch's director's note references the daunting nature of taking on the challenge of producing such a beloved and well known work; it is my opinion that, with few minor issues, Ms. Hatch and her cast more than did the piece justice.
