Discover two lesser-known stories from Edgar Allan Poe. First, in Poe's dark and comedic political satire on American capitalism, the dubious, "self-made" businessman Peter Proffit wants your vote as President of the United States. Then, a gruesome account of an experiment gone...

Directed by Michael DeFilippis, 44 Minutes is an unnerving provocation with an exhilarating plot twist. It’s a solid exploration of self-preservation and vengeance, featuring a broader reflection on suspicion, mistrust, and cruelty. John Billingsley, Dorian Missick, Christopher Ryan, and Matthew P…
Slade is remarkably entertaining, but the play is, ultimately rather unoriginal. The story strictly relies on a classist trope and only offers a superficial exploration of the class discourse. Yet, her gags are funny and the structural form makes it worth seeing. Danny Dyer would get a proper a kick…
The show is not quite a musical, not quite a play with music. Marcus accompanies Maddie on the piano, adding a dreamy aura to her prose when he isn’t suspending the narrative action altogether with facts about aging or other adjacent conversations. The result is a blithe, sentimental, almost roman…
Caleb Barron writes and directs a charmingly silly, snappy comedy. As the trio work on their ruse, researching Guy and his sudden retirement, scenarios glide into one another and the actors swap characters with confidence. A dynamic, beckoning comic rhythm is established. The storytelling is intrica…
With Rewilding, Chris Cantrill shows himself off as a veteran of his craft.…
Some plays feel like direct responses to other, more famous, more accomplished plays. There’s a lot of John Proctor Is The Villain in Rip Her To Shreds, but we’re not entirely sure we mean it in a good way. Like Kimberly Belflower’s, Isabelle Barbier’s drama deals with female rage and social…
It’s an addictive project. As our antihero loses the plot and her sabotages become more wacky and extreme, an early allegory of Leung’s comes up again and again, pushing the character (and the Hater) towards a reckoning of sorts. There’s no resolution, no answer to her obsessive compulsion, ju…
