Review: COWBOIS, Swan Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon
by Franco Milazzo - Oct 30, 2023


Cowbois might sound like a reboot of Sister Act but there is far more going under the satin bonnets. Gunslinger Jack Cannon (Vinnie Heaven) arrives in a small Wild West-era outpost, handsome by appearance, fearsome by reputation and with a bounty of 200 dollars on their head. The town is populated only by women and a drunken sheriff (Paul Hunter), their menfolk having been gone for over a year and presumed dead after a mine blast.

by Chantal Kunst - Oct 17, 2023

A play created by Mischief Theatre (script: Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, Henry Shields) , who are also responsible for the Olivier Award-winnig show The Play That Goes Wrong.  The Dutch adaptation is in hands of Pretpakhuis, in a direction (and translation) by Jon van Eerd. Let me start by saying this may or may not be your genre, this kind of physical comedy is extremely subject to  personal taste and I’m sure more than half of the audience whole-heartedly will disagree with the below.

Interview: Natasha Hause Seduces in THE GRADUATE at Sierra Rep
by Courtney Symes - Oct 16, 2023


The Graduate, a novel-turned-cult classic film and play, is an award-winning coming-of-age story about a young man who, feeling adrift after college, seeks connection with an older woman. It’s a story that has aged well, with themes that are collectively engaging. Finding one’s purpose, uncertainty, and lust are combined with loyalty and love to create a timeless piece of Americana. Who better to infuse the iconic work with Mrs. Robinson’s signature sex appeal than a Sacramento theatre icon? Sultry, smoky, and sophisticated are what Natasha Hause breathes into Sierra Rep’s Mrs. Robinson, bringing high society to the historic Fallon House Theatre and breathless entertainment to her audiences. The four-time BroadwayWorld Award-winning actress and director spoke to us about her coveted role, plans beyond Mrs. Robinson, and her secrets of seduction.
