Review: PRIVATE LIVES at The Arctic Playhouse

Review: WHISKEY at Roundabout Productions
Terrence McNally’s one-act comedy, ‘Whiskey,’ now at Roundabout Productions, is not so much a play but rather an extended skit that features five television personalities performing in the shadow of an unseen horse who is the titular star of a wildly popular series (á la ‘Mister Ed’).
