Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's production of Two Gentlemen of Verona, revamped in the style of Rat Pack Las Vegas, is bright and showy with neon colors, flashing lights and sporadic musical numbers, and is playing free in the Boston Common.
Virtuosic performances, perfectly orchestrated direction and exquisite period detail render the decadence and divinity beautifully in Peter Shaffer's Tony Award-winning 'Amadeus' at New Repertory Theatre in Watertown, Mass.
The sight and smell of smoke, the surrounding walls draped in sheets of white fabric, and a brew of eerie sounds and lights combine to set the mood for Boston Center for American Performance's MONSTER, a rendering of the oft-told FRANKENSTEIN tale that is not likely to be confused with earlier film or theatrical versions. Obie Award-winning playwright Neal Bell's edition will not evoke images of Boris Karloff or Mel Brooks, but it elevates the underlying themes of one man's attempt to play God and discover a way to defeat death to an inescapable level of consciousness.
The Boston Center for American Performance (BCAP) opens its third season on November 6th with C.P. Taylor's Good, directed by BCAP's artistic director Jim Petosa.
