BWW Review: SHAKESPEARE: DRUM & COLOURS - HAMLET from Seattle Shakespeare Company
by Jay Irwin - February 20, 2022
Who? What? Where? Why? These are the questions I wish the current production of “Hamlet” from Seattle Shakespeare Company had been able to answer but sadly did not. As part of their “Drum & Colours” series, which muddied things even more, this “Hamlet” lacked pacing, intent, interesting or effective staging, and coherence, making this one of the worst productions I’ve ever seen.

Thalia's Umbrella Presents EUROPE By David Greig, March 10-27 At 12th Avenue Arts
by BWW News Desk - February 16, 2022
The best play about the United States in 2021 was written in Scotland in 1994. In a time when words and ideas are divisive, and when someone from another country—or the other side of town—can seem both exotic and threatening, come join the feast that is David Greig's powerful play about two outsiders who change a small town. Two refugees arrive at a train station in a small border town where the trains no longer stop. They are not looking for love; they are not looking for trouble. They find both.

BWW Review: THE FIFTH WAVE from Macha Theatre Works
by Jay Irwin - February 12, 2022
Like so many others, Macha Theater Works was in their final rehearsals back in March of 2020 when the pandemic shut everything down. Now, almost two years later they are back at West of Lenin and ready to give us this intense look into a “me too” incident with their World Premiere play “The Fifth Wave” by Jenn Ruzumna and Lisa Every. A topic that is, unfortunately, still all too relevant.

BWW Review: THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP at Intiman Theatre
by Jay Irwin - February 11, 2022
There’s certainly a lot than can be said for Intiman Theatre’s current production of Charles Ludlam’s “The Mystery of Irma Vep”. It’s a classic bit of camp from a bygone era starring two very funny performers (Jesse Calixto and Helen Roundhill), and directed by Jasmine Joshua, a fantastic performer in their own right and the producer who brought us that fantastic gender bent production of “Little Shop of Horrors” a few years back. So much going for it that it even made my “Top 10 Seattle Productions to Look Forward To in 2022” list. Unfortunately, as much as it had going for it, it also had plenty going against it. A script definitely from a bygone era and a company that kept getting mired in their own jokes, making this a fun show but not the gut buster I was hoping for.
