Review Round-up: JAGGED LITTLE PILL, THE 39 STEPS, MRS. KRISHNAN'S PARTY and THE REVOLUTIONISTS
In the aftermath of experiencing the Nashville premiere of Jagged Little Pill — the musical inspired by and featuring music from Alanis Morissette’s 1995 album of the same name, other songs written by her and including two created expressly for the production, and featuring a compelling, biting and challenging book by Diablo Cody — one cannot help but lament the show’s abbreviated three-performance run at TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall.

Review: MARAT/SADE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw
What did our critic think of MARAT/SADE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw? The play was written in 1963 by Peter Weiss, a German writer, and even though the fact that it's almost 60 years old, it hasn't lost any of its actuality. We deal here with the interpretation box. Marcin Liber interpreted the play that interprets the French Revolution but it's also about the revolution itself.
