BWW Review: NATIVE GARDENS Bloom at Merrimack Repertory Theatre
by Nancy Grossman - September 24, 2018
Merrimack Repertory Theatre opens it 40th anniversary season with NATIVE GARDENS, #8 on American Theatre magazine's list of the top 10 most-produced plays of 2018-2019. With a dozen theaters mounting Karen Zacarias' delightful tale that pits a millennial, Latinx couple against a white, baby boomer couple, across a shared backyard fence, my prediction is that there will be lots of happy patrons debating the definition of good neighbors after seeing this show. To complicate matters, all four are basically good and decent people, just like us, but circumstances change. When they are tested and show new colors, are they a temporary aberration or their true ones?

Grenland Friteater Perform At Double Edge This Weekend
by BWW News Desk - September 24, 2018
Norway's Grenland Friteater returns to Double Edge Theatre for a limited run of two performances. The first, 7 SONGS OF THE REFUGEE, takes the audience to ninth-century China, to the downfall of the mighty Tang dynasty. We meet the hermit and poet Tu, an old man who is 'exiled forever.' He has fallen from a prestigious position of high office at the Emperor's court: 'It was a misunderstanding: I expressed myself too clearly.' Now he is a refugee, living on the few herbs he can find under the snow. In a flashback, he remembers his years as a soldier at the front, leaving his family, and the bloody battles he fought.
