Book Review: Tom Stoppard’s “Leopoldstadt” — Closing the Circle, Perfectly

This is a great work, more linear than Tom Stoppard’s earlier dramas, yet filled with such intelligence and compassion that it will be read and seen for years and years and, perhaps, over time be regarded as his richest, most haunting play.

By: Roberta Silman Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Holocaust, Leopoldstadt, tom-stoppard

Theater Review: “A Brimful of Asha” — Trying to Bridge the Generation Gap

The conversation between Ravi and his mother is funny, engaging, and often illuminating; their real life bond is palpable as the pair try to reconcile the young man’s hopes and dreams with his Indian heritage.

By: Erik Nikander Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: A Brimful of Asha, Arts Emerson, Asha Jain, Erik Nikander, Ravi Jain

Theater Review: “The Pink Unicorn” — Hugging the Cactus

SpeakEasy Stage Company has (once again) chosen a bold script for its audience.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Elise Forier Edie, SpeakEasy Stage Company, Stacey Fischer, The Pink Unicorn

Theater Review: “Solitaire Suite” — Strange Things Flashing in the Night

The show is made all the more powerful by the fact that we’ve now spent 12 months enduring Covid and four years of science denial and “alternative facts.”

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: David Greenham, Hub Theatre Company of Boston, Solitaire Suite, Trent England

It is difficult to think of a harder-working actor or one more devoted to his craft.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Film, Theater Tagged: Christopher Plummer

Theater Review: “The Race” — Business as Unusual

This is a very effective political drama, a relevant warning about what social critic Chris Hedges calls the formation of “corporate totalitarianism.”

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: David Greenham, Mark Binder, The Race, Wilbury Theatre Group

Theater Review: “Days to Come” – Wanting to Say Too Much

Mint Theater Company’s choice to revive Days to Come is more intriguing than Lillian Hellman’s muddled play.

By: Melissa Rodman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Days to Come, Lillian Hellman, Melissa Rodman, Mint Theater Company, Mint Theatre Company

Theater Review: “This Is Who I Am” — Virtual Intimacy

Amir Nizar Zuabi’s engaging drama is a hopeful testament to communication and forgiveness.
