by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 2, 2021

Four kids and a broken childhood later, she’s in prison while her father lies in a grave with a head mangled by a cast iron pan that was too bulky for her to lift normally.

Photo Flash: First Look at THE PROJECT at White Bear Theatre
by Stephi Wild - Mar 10, 2019
Northern Holland, 1943. Westerbork. A bleak muddy camp in a bleak muddy landscape. Bursting at the seams with angry worried people torn from their homes and surroundings. And in this camp a miracle. A cabaret performed by the very best artists in Europe. A cabaret the courteous smiling camp commandant wouldn't miss for the world. Just as he wouldn't miss signing off the weekly transport that sends 1000 Jews to a frightening destination in the East.

BWW Review: DEATH OF A HUNTER, Finborough Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Apr 3, 2018
Death of a Hunter sees Ernest Hemingway fighting his demons at once in the last harrowing hour of his life.

Finborough Theatre sees the English language premiere of Rolf Hochhuth's piece in a new adaptation by Peter Thiers (and in a translation by Peter Sutton).
