Review: BALTIMORE, LEND ME YOUR EAR! at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
by Daniel Collins - Jun 30, 2025
One does not have to be a fan of Shakespeare (or iambic pentameter) to know the tragic tale of JULIUS CAESAR – how this would-be-Emperor was felled by members of the Roman Senate, Caesar’s failure to beware the Ides of March, the famed line, “Et tu, Brute?”, before falling in a pool of blood and history.

by Tina Collins - Jun 25, 2025
There may be no better place to witness the slow, thunderous unraveling of a republic than beneath the open skies of the Patapsco Female Institute’s crumbling grandeur.

Review: Spectacle, Realpolitik, and Mixed Motives: MARY STUART at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
by Jack L. B. Gohn - Apr 30, 2025
The case for this production rests most firmly on the sheer spectacle and melodrama of the clash of the queens. Lesley Malin as Elizabeth, and Lisa Bruneau as Mary deliver that clash in fine fashion.

Tightened and Thrilling HAMLET at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
by Jack L. B. Gohn - May 3, 2023
I think the minimalism and starkness is intended to be clarifying; we are meant to be focused on the hearts of the various intertwined stories Shakespeare presents, and perhaps less distracted by other things going on at the very large periphery the playwright has laid out. Whatever the purpose, we find ourselves deeply drawn in, so that by the time all the bodies bestrew the stage at the end, the horror and the catharsis of it all has not only engulfed us – but thrilled us as well.

ELEGIES: A SONG CYCLE at Keegan Theatre
by David Friscic - Oct 25, 2022
The Keegan Theatre is presenting a moving and sensitive production of composer William Finn’s Elegies: A Song Cycle. This is a work of disarming autobiographical elements that underscore Finn’s alternately quirky and elegiac lyrics. Finn’s music is shot through with a sense of longing and pain abetted with a sense of holding on to whatever one can grasp at in times of despair and loss.
