Review: W71 at Williamstown Theatre Festival
by Marc Savitt - Jul 23, 2025

Due to scheduling conflicts, I was able to avail myself of only a small sampling of the W71 events during the first weekend of programming. We attended a performance of MANY HAPPY RETURNS at 11am and Tennessee Williams’ CAMINO REAL at 2pm. We had time between to enjoy lunch and a bit of shopping on Spring Street. The performances were very well done, a bit non-traditional, and without a doubt up to the long standing and well-established standards / expectations associated with the WTF. Bravo to all involved in the resurrection of this Phoenix from the Ashes. Although, admittedly once skeptical (I am a former New Yorker) I am happy to highly recommend immersion in the newly re-imagined Williamstown Theatre Festival. You will have to move quickly though as W71 runs only through August 3. That said, I am already looking forward to what W72 will bring us in the Summer of 2026.

Review: THE TURN OF THE SCREW AT SPOLETO FESTIVAL USA at Dock Street Theatre
by Perry Tannenbaum - Jun 4, 2025

Spoleto Festival USA's bipolar weekend of WHITE BOX and POLAR BEAR & PENGUIN was an admirable pairing for young and old -but not as grippingly theatrical as the world premiere staging of Benjamin Britten's opera, THE TURN OF THE SCREW, retelling the ghostly Henry James novella under the direction of Rodula Gaitanou

Review: Exciting Bullock and Finley Take on Met Debut of Adams’s ANTONY & CLEOPATRA
by Richard Sasanow - May 13, 2025

There’s an old expression, “A lawyer who defends himself has a fool for a client.” While John Adams didn’t decide to take on the libretto for his latest opera, Monday night’s Met premiere, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, all on his own, I wonder whether he might have bypassed the one resource that might have been most useful: Arrigo Boito.
