Review: EXHIBITIONISTS, King's Head Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - January 09, 2024
Exhibitionists is, regrettably, not a good play. That’s not to say, however, that it isn’t occasionally a lot of fun. Teetering on the edge of pure camp and exaggerated satire, this bewildering new comedy puts a gay and non-monogamous spin on the classic farce, as fiery exes come face to face at an art gallery.

by BWW News Desk - January 09, 2024
The cast has been announced for the premiere of Transgression at the White Bear Theatre. It’s the 1990s and the societal revolution to smash the nuclear family is on the horizon.
