Your intrepid correspondent saw two plays this weekend, Andrew Case's THE RANT at the Gamm Theatre in Pawtucket and NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH by Alan Ayckbourn Upstage at 2nd Story Theatre in Warren. Each of these plays dealt a violent death at the hands of the police. THE RANT is a powerful, drama about the dark recesses of murder and unknowability, while NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH is a light-hearted romp through the dark recesses of middle-class paranoia. I enjoyed them both very much, but then I'm middle-class with dark recesses of my own.

THE RANT takes place in Brooklyn, NY, not too long ago--that's what the program says. It feels like it could have easily taken place within the past year, month or week. Denise Reeve's son, a black teenager, was shot to death by a police officer on her front porch while she and her husband ate Eskimo Pies inside. At least that's what the audience hears first. From there, the story devolves into different versions of what might be the truth from Ms. Reeves, police officer Charles Simmons, investigator Lila Mahnaz and journalist Alexander Stern. In the end, the story is so twisted and murky with events, intentions and agendas that the actual events become secondary to the perceived situation.

The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre(The Gamm) stages the New England premiere of The Rant by Andrew Case. Timely and gripping, this taut drama tells the story of the shooting of an unarmed black teenager through the eyes of the boy's grieving mother, a police officer, a journalist, and the investigator assigned to the case. Tyler Dobrowsky (Morality Play, The Big Meal) directs Gamm new-comers Kym Gomes and Nikki Massoud as the mother and investigator respectively; Amos Hamrick (Gbatokai in Festen) as the police officer, and Gamm Artistic Director Tony Estrella as the journalist.

Tony Estrella, artistic director of The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm), has announced the theater's 2015-2016 season. Season 31 includes two undisputed classics, a contemporary favorite, and two works new to Gamm audiences, as described by Estrella:
