That brilliant murder mystery author Agatha Christie is universally praised and beloved, but one of her first successes is not well known to American readers.

Review: DORIAN at Irish Classical Theatre
by Michael Rabice - April 04, 2025
The personal life and writings of Oscar Wilde have been so inextricably linked that the new play DORIAN has woven Wilde's journey into that of one of his best known characters, Dorian Gray. In an everything old is new again fashion, Wilde's' 1891 play THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY has been freely adapted by Phoebe Eclair-Powell and Owen Horsley into something remarkably fresh and creative.

Review: CHESS at LANCASTER OPERA HOUSE
by Michael Rabice - March 31, 2025
Every now and then there is a musical that is near universally loved for it score, treasured by cast recording collectors, and infamous to many, BUT is rarely ever produced. Most were failures soon after theirs debuts. My personal desert island treasured flop from that category is Jerry Herman's DEAR WORLD. For others it was Stephen Sondheim's MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG ( considered a flop for almost 40 years, but now a triumph). Which brings us to the rarely produced, but often recorded musical CHESS, now being presented at the Lancaster Opera House.

Review: DIAL M FOR MURDER at Shea's 710 Theatre
by Michael Rabice - March 28, 2025
Murder, greed, blackmail, love affairs and a potential hanging are just some of the many dark subjects that form the fabric of the fabulous production of DIAL M FOR MURDER now playing at Shea's 710 Theatre. Who doesn't love a good old fashioned murder mystery? Alfred Hitchcock turned this nail biter into a classic film with Grace Kelly and Ray Miland in 1954. But everything old is new again, as playwright Jeffrey Hatcher has updated and adapted the original play by Frederick Knott into something equally intriguing and possibly even more salacious for current audience sensibilities.
