Review: SOFT POWER at Signature Theatre
by Pamela Roberts - August 15, 2024
Soft Power at Signature Theatre, is lush and polished, wacky and worrisome, absurdist and cautionary. It’s a tightrope of high political stakes and a zany montage of the US and China. As we head into high season of the 2024 election, the timing is perfect for staging the recently revised musical by David Henry Hwang and Jeanine Tesori.

Review: New York Circus Project's HAMLET an Exhilarating Debut
by Andrew White - August 13, 2024
We usually associate circuses with acrobats and clowning; it never occurs to us to think of circuses as an art form, with tremendous expressive potential. The New York Circus Project (NYCP), takes the art of the circus one dramatic step further. Currently on its first national tour with their production of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” co-created by Sam Landa and Emma Owens, the NYCP offers audiences an exhilarating take on a familiar tale.

Review: NOISES OFF at Keegan Theatre
by Mary Lincer - August 05, 2024
Noises Off remains the hardest to perform play ever written, as well as one of the easiest and most fun to watch. The Play That Goes Wrong tried to surpass it, but it can't be done. Playwright Michael Frayn's 1982 play could be called a love letter to theatre people if it weren't the play that threatens to undermine their work because the play within the play that nestles inside it foils their ability to stay wrong. Want to laugh? Keegan's production runs through September 1.
