Forbidden Love and Royalty: Dueling Themes in E2 at REP Stage
Clearly, the story of a king who would, legally speaking, seem like the safest person in the land, but who nonetheless is slain, as is his lover, because their relationship is considered taboo, seems facially like a perfect vehicle to provide that treatment.
An Old But Surprisingly Modern Comic Treasure: THE KNIGHT OF THE BURNING PESTLE at Baltimore Shakespeare Factory
The Knight of the Burning Pestle is rarely produced, and it certainly deserves the occasional outing, if only as a reminder that our forbears were just as interested in trying experiments with theatrical genre and form as we are.
August Wilson Ending on a High Note: RADIO GOLF at Everyman
And thus the struggle over ways of thinking and dealing commences.
Cold-Hearted But Great Fun: A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER at Dundalk Community Theatre
Getting Americans in a frame of mind where they'll despise British aristocrats is like shooting fish in a barrel (unless they're Americans who happen to be still in a daze from a viewing of Downton Abbey).

There's much to like about this production of THE BODYGUARD, story aside.
Making Deportation Politics Personal: MISS YOU LIKE HELL at Baltimore Center Stage
All politics is personal, as the saying goes.
BWW Review: BRIGHT HALF LIFE at Strand Theater Company
Bright Half Life is presented in a totally nonsequential fashion, and at nearly breakneck speed much of the time.
BWW Review: PROOF at The Everyman Theatre
At the Everyman Theatre, director Paige Hernandez delivers a beautifully rendered revival of David Auburn's play PROOF which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2001.
BWW Review: From Farcical to Sombre in PERFECT ARRANGEMENT at Fells Point Corner Theatre
The title Perfect Arrangement refers to the compact of a male gay couple and a lesbian couple to hide in plain view from the disapproval of the world in 1950 by posing as two straight couples living in adjoining halves of a Georgetown duplex.
BWW Review: CABARET at Olney Theatre Center Keeps Us Gasping

BWW Review: You'll Laugh, You'll Shiver: WRECKED at Contemporary American Theater Festival
It's an old trick, but a good one: Set two contrasting dramatic tones (usually domestic comedy and dread) against each other and let them fight it out throughout a play.
MY LORD, WHAT A NIGHT! at Contemporary American Theater Festival: Clashing Views on Resisting Racism
The drama works because of the intriguing way the characters' ideas about how to act in response to Marian Anderson's two provocative exclusions (first from Nassau Inn and then from Constitution Hall) shift repeatedly in response to new information, so that consensus is almost impossible to achieve,
Brooklyn Is In Him: ANTONIO'S SONG at Contemporary American Theater Festival
And now of course we are into the story of Antonio's family of origin, and the world of his origin, which has conditioned him to behave this way, which implicitly and explicitly looks to its men to solve problems with violence.
