BWW Reviews: Artists Rep's FOXFINDER Gets Lost in the Woods
by Patrick Brassell - November 03, 2013
William keeps searching, Judith tries to hold things together, and Sam becomes increasingly agitated. You could read the foxes as just about anything; originally I thought of McCarthy's Communists, though WMDs also came to mind.

BWW Reviews: A Fractured Family Faces THE OUTGOING TIDE at CoHo Productions
by Patrick Brassell - October 20, 2013
A playwright choosing Alzheimer's as a topic would seem to have painted himself into a corner, and we expect that we're going to spend the evening watching Gunner get worse. But the action here takes place over just a couple of days, and Gunner has a plan of his own to solve the problems facing the family.

BWW Reviews: The Road to Hell Begins with a Backyard Barbecue in DETROIT at Portland Playhouse
by Patrick Brassell - October 07, 2013
Lisa D'Amour's play Detroit does not specifically take place in Michigan, but everything about it reminded me of my hometown. Daniel Meeker's stunning set presents us with a couple of middle-class suburban patios, shabby around the edges, with worn paint, cheap outdoor furniture, and stained concrete. There's even real grass on the stage - a nice touch that adds to the truth of what's about to happen.

BWW Reviews: A Family Dinner Is SWEET AND SAD at Third Rail
