Quiara Alegria Hudes' Pulitzer Prize-winning play 'Water by the Spoonful' leaves us thirsty for more substance in the Lyric Stage's competent but ultimately listless production about lost souls seeking redemption and human connection.

It takes a pretty special production to fully capture my interest for the entirety of a Shakespearean work, particularly given the length of most of his plays.The Actor Shakespeare Project's production of Pericles, performed at the Modern Theatre, is one of these special productions. One of Shakespeare's least produced pieces, Pericles tells the complicated story of a nobleman's journey from land to land, escaping murder, falling in love, losing his family, and regaining hope.

Concluding its 9th season - 'Turning Toward Home' - Actors' Shakespeare Project will present its production of William Shakespeare's Pericles, a drama of the adventures and tribulations of Pericles, whose journey involves surprises, challenges and sweet reunion at the Modern Theatre at Suffolk University tonight, April 20 to May 12.

Actors' Shakespeare Project (ASP) continues its 8th season - Laughter, Loss & Longing ? with one of Shakespeare's later comedies, The Merry Wives of Windsor, directed by ASP resident acting company member Steven Barkhimer.

For this production we hope to be long on the 'laughter' part of our theme and, the holidays and Davis Square are a perfect match for the escapades of the Merry Wives. 'It's the time of year when we should be laughing off the crap we have to go through the rest of the year,' Artistic Director Allyn Burrows said. 'And what better place to perform but in the space once operated by the hilarious comedian Jimmy Tingle.'
