Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST at Town Players Of Newtown
by Jared Reynolds - Oct 7, 2026
In modern theater, it often feels like a risk to keep it simple and just let the cast take a script and run with it, but for the Town Players of Newtown, that decision is well justified and led to the creation of a delightfully entertaining production of The Importance of Being Earnest.

Review: DE PROFUNDIS, The Coronet Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 3, 2026
The Berliner Ensemble returns to The Coronet Theatre to present a solo show that charts the cruelty of men. Oliver Reese directs Jens Harzer in a bitter, relentless examination of guilt, sexuality, and atonement in an adaptation of Wilde’s exegesis of suffering, creation, and injustice. Translated into German (offered here with English surtitles), the play is deeply poetic. The language ebbs and flows with sense and feeling as Harzer philosophises on love and carnality, society and propriety, perception and reputation. A splendid pace adds meaning to emotion and sentiment to the text.
