Original pieces of theater are a tricky business. For every well-crafted, well-received new work, there are countless others that are less successful, to put it mildly. The Fault, a new drama by UT-Austin M.F.A. candidate Katie Bender, falls into the second category. While Bender does have a few interesting idea and glimmers of a strong central character, the ideas and the play as a whole feel unfinished, underdeveloped, and tediously dull.
The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance presents the premiere engagement of new a play by Katie Bender, The Fault today, December 3-7 at the Oscar G. Brockett Theatre.

When you see a show titled Vodka, F***ing and Television, it's inevitable that one question will come to mind. Will the show be as crass and funny as the name suggests, or will it go overboard and be dead on arrival? I'm glad to say that with its witty script, skillful direction, and extraordinary cast, Vodka, F***ing and Television, produced by Breaking String and now playing at the Hyde Park Theatre, will easily win you over.
