Don't believe me, just watch....
BWW Review: BROKEN GLASS in Westport
Westport Country Playhouse closed its season by honoring the centennial of Pultizer prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller with his 1994 play, Broken Glass. The title partly refers to Kristallnacht, the pogrom during which the windows of Jewish-owned homes and businesses and synagogues were smashed ...

BWW Review: TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE at Playhouse On Park
At the beginning of the premiere production of Playhouse on Park's seventh season, TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, we learn that we are present for the last class taught by Morrie Schwartz, and that Mitch Albom, the author of the book on which the play is based, will be the sole student. But seated in the aud...
BWW Review: AN OPENING IN TIME at Hartford Stage Company
At the top of Christopher Shinn's new play at Hartford Stage, AN OPENING IN TIME, the lights never dim to blackout. Instead, they brighten to lead us into a familiar suburban world occupied by a collection of characters whose lives intertwine as they yearn, in varied ways, to love and be loved....
BWW Reviews: BEDROOM FARCE Leaves Audiences in Stitches as Westport Country Playhouse's Grown-Up Bedtime Tale
Alan Ayckbourn makes another delightful, not-so-clean comedy sweep at Westport Country Playhouse with Bedroom Farce. The play captures all the fun, frustration, fighting, frivolity, and fidgeting that inevitably goes into any all-nighter....
BWW Review: BEDROOM FARCE in Westport
Alan Ayckbourn's 1975 play, Bedroom Farce, is as good as it gets at the Westport Country Playhouse....
BWW Review: MURDER FOR TWO in New Haven

BWW Reviews: I'LL EAT YOU LAST in Hartford
TheaterWorks in Hartford is closing out its 29th season with the one-woman talk fest based on one of Hollywood's first female super agents: Sue Mengers. "Gossip is mother's milk to me," she says, and, indeed, the performance is an 80 minute dish session without intermission....
BWW Reviews: Playhouse on Park Closes Season With a HAIR Do
Playhouse on Park lets their freak flag fly....
BWW Reviews: AND A NIGHTINGALE SANG
More energy than you think....
BWW Reviews: GOOD PEOPLE at TheaterWorks in Hartford
Hartford's a good city for a production of David Lindsay-Abaire's play GOOD PEOPLE, which centers on questions of class in America: how is it that some people get out of the 'hood' and get ahead while others who work plenty hard don't?...
BWW Reviews: THE WINSLOW BOY in Stratford
Not about justice, but about doing right....
BWW Reviews: KISS ME KATE at Hartford Stage Company

BWW Reviews: THE LIAR in Westport
David Ives meets Pierre Corneille, William Shakespeare and David Hirson...
BWW Reviews: GUYS AND DOLLS at Goodspeed Opera House
The current production of GUYS AND DOLLS at Goodspeed is infectious, fast, and smart. It does Frank Loesser's topnotch score justice, nailing the balance between vocalists and the pit orchestra, letting us enjoy both the witty lyrics and memorable tunes of so many of the best songs ever written for...
BWW Reviews: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Music Theatre Of Connecticut
I have been a fan of Music Theatre of Connecticut for a while now, so when I entered their Melissa & Doug theater on opening night of Little Shop of Horrors, I was looking forward to a wonderful evening with this classic piece of musical theatre....

Community violence affects everyone differently....
BWW Reviews: PLAYING THE ASSASSIN at TheaterWorks
Impassioned and topical, David Robson's new play at TheaterWorks in Hartford offers a gripping confrontation between two men: one a former football legend, the other a generation younger....
BWW Reviews: THE PIANIST OF WILLESDEN LANE at Hartford Stage Company
Historically accurate, THE PIANIST OF WILLESDEN LANE at Hartford Stage Company is genuinely uplifting due to the tremendous virtuosity of Mona Golabek, the sole performer. This is especially true as she uses the piano to tell a story that matters deeply to her: her own mother's life....
BWW Reviews: THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE at Yale Repertory Theater
Yale Rep's production of Bertolt Brecht's classic CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE is very faithful to his intentions as a politically motivated playwright and theorist....
BWW Reviews: BAND OF THE BLACK HAND at Connecticut Repertory Theatre
BAND OF THE BLACK HAND is a stage mashup of film noir tropes (both visual and story based), interpreted with the aid of clever shadow screen work derived from Indonesian puppetry roots....
BWW Reviews: LYSISTRATA at Connecticut Repertory Theatre
Outrageous, bawdy, and pointed: LYSISTRATA may be one of the oldest comedies we have (written in 411 B.C.E. by the great Greek troublemaker Aristophanes) but it remains both wickedly funny and pertinent. He wrote it 20 years into a bloody war that seemed endless. His premise? Have women conspire to ...

Who is naughty? Who is nice?...
