Review: THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH at A Noise Within
by Amanda Callas
- Sep 23, 2024
The Skin of Our Teeth is an astonishing production of the classic play at A Noise Within through September 29th. It is insatiably alive with sharp-fanged wit, whimsical thoughtfulness, and improbable wonder. The Skin of Our Teeth is audaciously satirical, but also earnest its incandescent meditation on the eternal human cycle of apocalypse and overindulgence.
BWW Review: Languid Production of FRANKENSTEIN Will Have No One Clamoring, “It's Alive!”
by Jonas Schwartz-Owen
- Aug 23, 2019
The California Premiere of Nick Dear's adaptation of Frankenstein features a heartbreaking performance by Michael Manuel as a creature born innocent but ugly, taught to hate and rebel against humanity. Manuel carries the production on his hulking shoulders, which becomes crippling due to a confounding script and unusually lifeless direction from Los Angeles star director Michael Michetti.

BWW Review: Power to the People of FUENTE OVEJUNA
by Andria Tieman
- May 16, 2017
Like Sheep to Water, or Fuente Ovejuna, by Lope de Vega, was written in the early 1600s, but has been largely unproduced in the United States. Similar to a Shakespearean history, it's based on actual events that occurred in the Castilian region of Spain in 1476. This production was translated and adapted by Trinity Rep Artistic Director Curt Columbus, and manages to stir up plenty of emotion while injecting much-needed moments of comic relief. While the production, costumes and performances are excellent as they always are at Trinity Rep, the play itself is somewhat underwhelming despite containing classic themes of romance and triumph over oppression.

by Michael L. Quintos
- Oct 17, 2016
Coming off the heels of another politically-charged play ALL THE WAY that they presented last month, Orange County's Tony Award-winning regional theater South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa is following up that searing drama with a staging of a brand new production of playwright Aaron Posner's DISTRICT MERCHANTS, a clever, thoughtful, and occasionally humorous re-imagining of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. This time around, the play-a self-aware comedic drama set during America's post-Civil War Reconstruction era-continues performances through October 23, 2016.
