Review: THE SMOKER at Contemporary American Theater Festival
by Jack L. B. Gohn - Jul 16, 2026
In the end, this is not so much of a takedown of one specific person as of a way of being a person. To shrink down to that person’s size is to lose out on life. In this good and carefully-written play, D’Amour makes that clear.

Review: THE SMOKER at Contemporary American Theater Festival
by Andrew White - Jul 15, 2026
Lisa D’Amour offers us a fascinating character study in her latest play, The Smoker, and under the empathetic eye of Director Shelley Butler we are invited into the lives of normal people we routinely pass by without a thought. As if by accident we meet our central character, a recovering alcoholic known only as The Smoker (the charming and dissembling Brad Fleischer) and for the rest of the evening we watch as he passes the time out on the sidewalk in front of his apartment building, sharing a smoke with neighbors and chatting with passers-by.

Review: THE ART OF BURNING at Hartford Stage
by Brooks Appelbaum - Mar 16, 2023
What did our critic think of THE ART OF BURNING at Hartford Stage? Kate Snodgrass' world premiere play, The Art of Burning, presented by Hartford Stage in association with Huntington Theater Company, is a disappointingly thin work, though the producing theaters are to be congratulated for supporting new scripts. The production itself, led by the sure hand of Hartford Stage Artistic Director Melia Bensussen, is well cast and fascinating to look at: Luciana Stecconi's scenic design creates an atmosphere of alienation, leaving the characters looking uneasy, often lost, and like chess pieces trying to defend their positions on a brutally cold board. However, the set is more original than the plot, which attempts to put a feminist spin on old themes: marriage is difficult; raising a child is even more difficult; affairs lead to thorny divorce settlements; and children get caught in the middle.
