BWW Reviews: Marble Stage Delivers Toothless Production of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

I'm a completely unabashed fan of George Romero's 1968 classic film NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. I first saw it a midnight screening and was floored by it's raw cinematic energy and black and white gore. It was one of the first films I owned on video tape during the video revolution, and it was widely available since the title had slipped into the public domain. When the official Romero-approved version hit DVD I picked that up as well, and I even have a copy of the film on my iPod. So, I was pleased that a group actually did the smart thing and decided to stage a presentation during the Halloween season. It's too bad that Marble Stage had to battle the surging St. Louis Cardinals and their phenomenal and improbable World Series run for an audience. It's also too bad that their production wasn't more tightly executed.

Review - A Light Lunch: Pre-Mortem

A couple of years ago I went to The Flea Theater and had a fun time with A.R. Gurney's then newest play, Post Mortem. It was a clever little piece taking place in the future about a college student writing his thesis on a long-forgotten playwright named A.R. Gurney, and was filled with self-referential zingers based on his reputation for writing 'middle class comedies of manners' that made him popular with WASP theatergoers.
