BWW Reviews: Good Theater's CLYBOURNE PARK Takes Incisive Aim at Racism
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - October 07, 2013
Portland's (Maine) Good Theater opened its 2013-2014 season with an incisive production of Bruce Norris' 2011 Pultizer Prize winning drama, Clybourne Park. The play, inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, explores the issues of subtle, yet pervasive racism in a Chicago neighborhood, first in 1959 and then in 2009. That the characters in each half of the drama have different names and ostensibly different experiences is a bitter illusion. History not only repeats itself, albeit it in a more understated and sophisticated way, but it also painfully demonstrates that prejudice dies hard; even time, education, and improving economics do not erase deeply ingrained fears and intolerance.
LOVE/SICK Runs at The Public Theatre October 18 - 27
by BWW News Desk - October 05, 2013
The Public Theatre, Lewiston/Auburn's Professional Theatre, kicks off its 23rd season with the un-romantic comedy Love/Sick, running Oct 18 - 27. This series of funny and bittersweet love stories written by Maine playwright John Cariani, author of the popular comedy Almost, Maine, revisits the topic of love, but this time dares to ask, 'Once you find love, what the heck do you do with it, and how do you make it last?' From a bride who wears Isotoners to keep her 'cold feet' warm, to a man who loses his hearing every time the words 'I love you' are spoken; this perfect show for imperfect lovers will strike a resonant chord with anyone who's ever been in a relationship.
