BWW Review: Seattle Rep's KING CHARLES III Fails to Live Up to the Hype

There's always a danger in any kind of entertainment that the show will be hyped up so much that when you finally see it, it cannot possibly live up to the image in your mind. I largely think such is the issue with my lack of zeal over “King Charles III”, currently playing at the Seattle Rep. I had heard so much about this one on how funny and original it was but instead what I got was a play that while interesting, felt long winded and only offered me a few scant chuckles.

Review: 'When Tang Met Laika'

When Tang Met Laika had it's world premiere at the Denver Center on January 28th. Regelio Martinez's play is about an astronaut who falls in love with a female cosmonaut around the time of the Columbia Shuttle disaster. But that is only part of the play. Intertwined is the relationship between the United States and Russia, a marriage that is, or has been, going bad and ghosts from the past.
