Review: GOD OF CARNAGE at Town Players Of Newtown
At the end of the day, the cast is what made God of Carnage so successful and funny, and praise should be given towards the whole cast for their performances and to Terry Sagedy, who brought it all together.
Review: THE GIN GAME at Community Theatre At Woodbury
A typical pitfall of talking plays is that the modern audience may struggle to focus if there is no action to go along with the talking, but a smart production can find ways to keep an audience engaged.
Review: SORDID LIVES at Connecticut Theatre Company
The variety of conflicts and the hyper-stylized character tropes employed in Sordid Lives is why it works as a comedy and, under the direction of Duane Campbell, the Connecticut Theatre Company’s production of Sordid Lives honored that and delivered a raucous evening at the theater.
