BWW Reviews: A Split Decision for Soulpepper's TWELVE ANGRY MEN
by Catherine Kustanczy - Jun 18, 2014

The celebrated 1957 film 12 Angry Men is a drama that began its life on television as part of a CBS series, Studio One, where it premiered in 1954. The work, penned by ex-serviceman Reginald Rose and inspired by his direct experience as a juror, went on to win an Emmy, and in its later form, an Academy Award nomination. It tells the story of twelve jurors who debate the fate of a sixteen year-old Latino boy on trial for murdering his father. The work starts out with one Not-Guilty vote, and explores the various prejudices of each juror (none of whom are given names) while simutaneously examining the nature of justice on both epic and intimate levels.

Ritter, Dene, Voss or When Your Family Is Too Close For Comfort Closes 10/10
by Trish Vignola - Oct 10, 2010

Ritter, Dene, Voss is a delicious Beckett-meets-Brechtian farce. Thomas Bernhard explores the themes of sexual repression and familial rivalry (a fun combo) with great resolve and humor. Ritter, Dene, Voss introduces us to two sisters, who are part-time actresses and full-time heiresses. They are charged with the societal reintegration of their tormented genius brother Ludwig, a part-time philosopher and full-time grandstander, who has returned from a mental health institute. The result? They swallow each other alive.
