A middle-aged 9-5er sits at attention at his highly organized desk in a dull, spare, wood-paneled office.
BWW Reviews: LIFT Keeps Moving On Up
There isn't much that can be said or done in a minute - neither accomplished nor expressed in so short a time, especially in an era where the significance of each tick of the second hand is only in anticipation of the next moment, not having much importance in itself.

BWW Reviews: A More Engaging Romeo and Juliet, 3 Blocks from Broadway's in R+J: STAR-CROSS'D DEATH MATCH
Orlando Bloom, park your motorcycle, and walk three blocks to a bar that used to be called Harley's, where there is a weird, well-acted, fun, immersive boozy bro party production of Shakespeare's tragedy that is, in several ways, more engaging and far more original than your Romeo and Juliet on Broa
BWW Reviews: THE RECOMMENDATION Explores American Myth of a Classless Society at the Flea
The chance meeting between privileged Feldman and imprisoned Dwight sets in motion this well-acted if implausible play by Jonathan Caren that considers the nature of friendship, and attempts to offer us a glimpse at the class system in America.
BWW Reviews: NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE Revisits Israeli/Palestinian Conflict in Romeo and Juliet Love Story
The strength of this swift, well-cast modest Romeo and Juliet love story between an Israeli soldier and a Palestinian student is in the depiction of the two families, cleverly portrayed by the same actors in dual roles.
BWW Reviews: Two Understudies Wait to Perform Beckett's Famous Play in the Very Funny WAITING FOR WAITING FOR GODOT
Waiting for Waiting For Godot is less a spoof of Beckett's play than it is a knowing comic riff on the life of an actor.
BWW Reviews: NDEBELE FUNERAL Brings Vibrant Life to FringeNYC
The Fringe Festival always delivers wide varieties of theater, theater that is presented quite differently than what is usually displayed in the mainstream scene.
BWW Review: Mad Men Goes Musical With SOMEONE TO BELONG TO
If 'Someone To Belong To,' a musical about advertising copywriters in the 1960s, seems to be capitalizing on the popularity of 'Mad Men,' the story behind this Fringe show is actually far more interesting than that.
BWW Review: NY Fringe Show: RUBBLE Offers One-Liners from The Simpsons, The Sopranos and Hollywood Squares vets
Rubble,' written by 'The Simpsons' long-time staff writer and producer Mike Reiss and starring 'Hollywood Square' Bruce Vilanch, has more one-liners than a comedian's stand-up routine, and not much more of a plot.

Rebecca Foresman's delightful play "Half: A Divorce Farce" has two performers playing six roles in a set of tour-de-force performances.
BWW Review: New York Fringe Show: BRADLEY COLE Tells Tall Tale of Fame on Twitter
A show about Twitter fame, 'Bradley Cole' is a lively 80-minute musical at the Fringe Festival with 16 tuneful songs, an energetic cast, and a plot that applies the gloss of the Twitter-topical to what feels like a mash-up of every predictable show known to mankind: a romantic comedy, a coming-out s
BWW Review: NY Fringe Show: THE SPIDER Tells Haunting Tale of Naked Conjoined Twins
The play from Bulgaria about two conjoined twins presents enough brutal twists and haunting turns to keep our attention, helped along by the bravura acting of the two-member cast
BWW Reviews: GERTRUDE STEIN SAINTS at the Fringe Turns Avant-Garde Opera into Glee (in a Good way)
Dressed all in white, singing like angels and dancing like the devil, the 13 performers of "Gertrude Stein's Saints" are young, energetic, talented, and, let's face it, hot enough to be cast in Glee.
BWW Reviews: GRINDING AND EQUATIONS: TWO DUETS AT ABRONS and YOU ARE SPECIAL
The most important thing to remember is an open mind when attending a production that would likely fall under the category of "performance art".
