Theater Review: “The Children” — After the Damage Has Been Done

An apocalyptic backdrop gives the play urgency, especially given the current worldwide struggle to contain the Corvid-19 virus, which has already claimed thousands of lives.

Visual Arts Review: “Lucian Freud Self-Portraits” — Pictures of a Cool Narcissist

I recommend this show for Lucian Freud’s highly polished craftsmanship, but his wry game of psychological hide-and-seek is not all that satisfying.

Theater Preview: “Buddy” Cianci’s Ghost Returns to Haunt Providence

We are definitely feeling a sense of Buddy haunting us, to be sure. I mean, this theater is the place he visited. He attended many, if not most, of the shows here.
