Review: The Atreides Are Us in THE ORESTEIA at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company


by Jack L. B. Gohn - February 19, 2024

There are great depths here, and great wisdom, and Playwright Ellen McLoughlin’s handiwork and that of Chesapeake Shakespeare convey them well.

Review: In THE BOOK OF GRACE from Rapid Lemon, a Penchant for Grand Themes and Intoxicating Characters, Outstanding Cast


by Jack L. B. Gohn - January 15, 2024

Playwright Suzan Lori-Parks evidently likes to swing for the fences.

Reality Crumbles But A Plot Emerges: Jon Fosse's STRONG WIND Premieres at Scena Theatre


by Jack L. B. Gohn - November 06, 2023

Review: 10x10x10 2023 At Fells Point Corner Theatre: Longer Than A Tweet, Shorter Than An Indictment

Ten playwrights offer ten-minute plays performed by an ensemble of ten actors in the Fells Point Corner Theatre's annual 10x10x10 competition.
