BWW Reviews: TITANIC: THE MUSICAL at the Muny
by Chris Gibson - July 08, 2010
TITANIC: THE MUSICAL is just the sort of production that's perfectly suited to the vast expanse the Muny provides. After all, it's a big show, and there's no space quite as mammoth in size and scope as the Muny stage. And, I'm happy to report that their current presentation is a grand and entertaining spectacle that's powered by a top notch cast and sharp direction.

Slightly Askew Theatre Ensemble Presents HAMLETMACHINE, 6/9-6/27
by BWW News Desk - June 27, 2010
The plays of Heiner Muller are as dense as they are brief - shell fragments fired into our collective psyche. What Muller does is boil down a universally recognizable story to its skeleton. Of his vast body of work, HAMLETMACHINE is probably Muller's most recognizable, and possibly the least accessible. Slightly Askew Theatre Ensemble will transform Muller's dark text into a media circus that both celebrates and challenges traditional theatre forms, using the best elements of pop culture to take the mystique out of the text, and make it accessible.
