Review: LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST, Shakespeare’s Globe
by Debbie Gilpin - Jul 30, 2026


The flimsy theme holding together this year’s summer season at Shakespeare’s Globe is ‘1599 or 1939’, which has allowed them to stage a work by Brecht as well as several Shakespeare plays which are frequent flyers at this theatre complex. Fortunately it leaves room for something which hasn’t been produced for either stage since Michelle Terry’s inaugural season in 2018; this Love’s Labour’s Lost, however, finds itself in the outdoor Globe Theatre and with a distinctive Spanish flavour.

Review: THE NOTEBOOK: THE MUSICAL at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - May 14, 2026


The stage production does make a lot of strides that strengthens the endurance and popularity of this love story. It repeats iconic moments from the popular 2004 film, but isn’t aping the original screenplay in any way. A new libretto offers a fresh take that borrows the basic structure of the novel and memorable film moments, whilst breathing in new voices and new scenes that add different layers to these familiar characters.

Guest Blog: 'I Don’t Think You Have Seen This Before': Writer Titas Halder On The World Premiere Of His New Play, FOAL
by Guest Author - May 1, 2026


I never thought once thought about what the songs were about when I was a kid, I was just trying to learn the basslines – but now, with a few brain cells more, listening to the lyrics, the thematics of these songs are revealed as lurid, dark, satirical, political. It’s just that the music rocks hard and is funky as hell. And I think it’s in this spirit that I wrote the heavy metal arthouse mayhem that is FOAL.

Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - Apr 16, 2026


We learn that the suburban fantasy is not sustainable, primarily because such a fantasy can only ever be a dream. The reality of suburban living, as told by Kimberly Akimbo, shows there is much more nuance to everyday life than the nuclear family with a white picket fence and a wholesome dinner at eight. If everyone got what they wanted, after all, they wouldn’t want for more.
