BWW Review: Scrooges Galore: Two Distinct Takes on A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Chesapeake Shakespeare and Toby's

by Jack L. B. Gohn — December 9, 2016
It is a truth universally acknowledged that as Christmas rolls around, A Christmas Carol appears in theaters. And it's no wonder; Charles Dickens' irresistible holiday tale is irresistibly theatrical. It is machine-tooled to go right for the heartstrings. A lot of different things can be done within...
BWW Review: Everyone Gets A Present Courtesy of A CHRISTMAS STORY at Hippodrome

BWW Review: Everyone Gets A Present Courtesy of A CHRISTMAS STORY at Hippodrome

by Jack L. B. Gohn — December 7, 2016
All the elements you want to see - the narration by Jean Shepherd, the Major Award, the flagpole (pictured above), the slugfest with Scut Farkas, the dogs in the kitchen, the Chinese dinner, and every repetition of 'You'll shoot your eye out!' are there, none the worse for your expecting them. The n...

BWW Review: Bravura LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES at Center Stage: A Welcome Antidote to Seasonal Good Cheer

by Jack L. B. Gohn — December 6, 2016
With Les Liaisons Dangereuses, we have byzantine complexity and unreal psychology. Doesn't sound like the sort of thing that would keep readers and theatergoers keep coming back. Yet somehow, almost inexplicably, this slightly pornographic extravaganza of obscurity and nastiness continues to claim o...
BWW Review: High School Hunger Games Played for Laughs: SCHOOLGIRL FIGURE at Cohesion

BWW Review: High School Hunger Games Played for Laughs: SCHOOLGIRL FIGURE at Cohesion

by Jack L. B. Gohn — November 21, 2016
Set in a high school where certain girls, banded together as The Carpenters, are in an anorexia/bulimia competition, where the intermediate prize is to date the hunky The Brad and the longer-term prize is death by malnutrition, the show follows the battle between the utterly unscrupulous uber-bitch ...

BWW Review: Finding Good Cheer Amid Threatening and Debilitating Moments: THE PINK HU

BWW Review: Finding Good Cheer Amid Threatening and Debilitating Moments: THE PINK HULK at Charm City Fringe

by Jack L. B. Gohn — November 10, 2016
We know from the fact that playwright and performer Valerie David is standing before us that the upshot will be triumphant, and we don't mind the predictability at all. This is a good, healthy kind of predictability, based in the truth and commonality of the experience being shared. And if there are...

BWW Review: Jen Silverman's Alarmingly-Introduced ROOMMATE at Everyman

BWW Review: Jen Silverman's Alarmingly-Introduced ROOMMATE at Everyman

by Jack L. B. Gohn — October 31, 2016
This is not a show about big issues; the pathos comes from the human condition, to the basic facts of which the play is usually true, even when operating as a well-tooled laughter-delivery-vehicle. If there can be said to be a moral to Silverman's story, it is simply that it is extremely hard to bec...
BWW Review: A Rare and Topical Revival of ANNE OF THE THOUSAND DAYS at CSC

BWW Review: A Rare and Topical Revival of ANNE OF THE THOUSAND DAYS at CSC

by Jack L. B. Gohn — October 24, 2016
Anne, like Henry, is engaged in more than just affairs of the heart. She too ends up playing (and winning, on the best terms available to her) the game of thrones. Just before her arrest, she is offered a choice, which she recognizes lies between survival and legacy. Her choice of the latter is imme...
