Review: THE ANTIQUITIES at Goodman Theatre


by Rachel Weinberg - May 15, 2025

Jordan Harrison’s new play THE ANTIQUITIES asks the question, “What does it mean to be human?” It opens with two museum curators inviting the audience to tour a museum displaying relics from the late human era...with the implication that said place exists in a post-human one.

Review: THE BOOK OF GRACE at Steppenwolf Theatre Company


by Rachel Weinberg - April 07, 2025

I usually appreciate when plays show and don’t tell, but THE BOOK OF GRACE really needs more exposition. Directed by Steve H. Broadnax III. Steppenwolf’s production is a new version of Parks’s 2010 play, expanded from its original 100-minute run-time to two and a half hours. Even with the extra run ...
