BWW Review: Bell Shakespeare's THE MERCHANT OF VENICE

BWW Review: Bell Shakespeare's THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
BWW Review: NEXT FALL at Chapel Off Chapel
by Victoria Beal - July 20, 2017
Geoffrey Nauffts highly-acclaimed Next Fall is something of a theatrical success story, with the original 2009 production receiving critical praise, an extended Broadway season and a Tony-Award nomination. The play follows the five-year relationship of unlikely couple Adam - a frustrated and neurotic forty-year-old writer and atheist - and Luke, a 20-something year old devout Christian who cannot come out to his parents. Their history is revealed through flashbacks, while in the present Luke fights for life in hospital after an accident and family and friends gather to hold vigil. Perhaps a victim of the reputation that precedes it, this production is only intermittently moving and ultimately it is hard to see what all the fuss is about.
