BWW Reviews: FRANKENSTEIN'S American Premiere Creates Philosophical Drama at Off the Wall Theatre
by Peggy Sue Dunigan - November 19, 2014
Man and Sensibilities. Machines and Sciene. Milwaukee's Off the Wall Theatre presents an American premiere of an intellectual Frankenstein based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel more than the horror monsters the novel's name frequently invokes. The company's Artistic Director Dale Gutzman imported an adaptation by Nick Dear that premiered at London's National Theatre and focuses on the meaning of creating the spark of human life overlaid with touches from John MIlton's "Paradise Lost." Themes that Shelly intertwined into her original novel, often considered to be one of the first examples of science fiction.

BWW Reviews: The Rep Presents Incomparable World Premiere: ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS I DO
by Peggy Sue Dunigan - October 10, 2014
Incredible, indescribable, infuriating, inflammatory, intense-These host of words attempt to define the Milwaukee Rep's World Premiere 'after all the terrible things I do' opening at the Stiemke Studio this fall in the Patty and Jay Baker Theatre Complex. Set in a Midwestern town beset with Midwestern sensibilities, A. Rey Pamatmat's play, his script, decimates an audience's perception of a culture, gender, race and sexual preferences that transcends discussions on merely being gay, a bully and young or simply a parent wanting to see their child survive.

BWW Reviews: Boulevard's GIDEON'S KNOT Poses Puzzling Questions to Art and Education
by Peggy Sue Dunigan - October 09, 2014
Provocative and prophetic, a puzzle waiting to be unraveled before the audience's eyes similar to a Gordian knot, the Boulevard Theatre on stage at Walkers Point Center for the Arts presents a limited run of Gideon's Knot, a Wisconsin premiere. Artistic Director Mark Bucher stages the play under the direction of Patricia Durante in this daring and unsettling view on the state of education in one small classroom set in Lake Forest, Illinois. Does a person cut this production's tragedies out of their thoughts or pull the answers to these probing questions in an attempt to understand perhaps this evolving microcosm of American education presented in the production.
