Theater

Poetry Review: “Outside” — Poetry and Prose of French Writer André du Bouchet.

Take the poems slowly, enjoy the Cage-y silences, the concentrated words as they appear.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review, Theater, Uncategorized, Video Games, Visual Arts, Webmaster News, World Books Tagged: André du Bouchet, Eric Fishman, French poetry, Hoyt Rogers, Outside

Theater Commentary: A Modest Proposal — Boston Theaters, Junk Your Seasons!

Today’s spirit of protest calls for risk and innovation, dissent and defiance. Our timid stages fall disgracefully short of reflecting that iconoclasm.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: Boston-theater, George Floyd

Theater Commentary: The Boston Theater Critics Association — Finally Reached a Conclusion?

The Boston Theater Critics Association should take action in support of #MeToo. But this will probably be the last year I request that Israel Horovitz’s Elliot Norton Prize be withdrawn.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: Don Aucoin, Ed Siegel, Elliot Norton Award Committee, Elliot Norton Prize for Sustained Excellence, Israel Horovitz, Joyce Kulhawik

Theater Interview: Anthony Clarvoe on “The Living” — Surviving Plague Time

The Living “is about the impulse to draw back, to lie, to conceal, and to retreat versus the impulse to gather, to commune, to cooperate, to find common ground. Those two conflicting impulses seem to inform our response to every disaster.”

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Anthony Clarvoe, Benny Sato Ambush, COVID-19, Hanife Schulte., Plague, The Living

Theater Commentary: Why Are America’s Stages Afraid of Dealing with the Climate Crisis?

Those who survive the climate crisis will regard American theater’s current indifference with incredulity and disgust.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: American Theatre Magazine, american-theatre, Climate Crisis, Climate Emergency

Performing Arts Series: Stories of Surviving COVID-19 — Double Edge Theatre

“We believe the way to move through these times is 6 feet apart and ALL TOGETHER.”

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: Carlos Uriona, COVID-19, Double Edge Theatre, Jennifer Johnson

Theater Commentary: When the Curtain Falls — Like an Axe

Vibrant, independent theater in Boston and throughout New England will not be sustained if the demolition starts at the bottom and moves up.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: ArtsBoston, Bill-Marx, Theater Communications Group

Arts Commentary: Two “Killer” Worldviews

I’m suddenly startled by the almost simultaneous appearance of two killers, neither of them COVID-19, each seemingly unbeatable in its own way.

By: Jeff Zinn Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: COVID-19, Eugène Ionesco, Jeff Zinn, The Killer

Book Review: “Woe from Wit” — A Great Russian Drama, Newly Translated

One of the masterpieces of Russian drama is done justice in a English version that successfully captures much of the wit and fluency of the original.

By: Laurence Senelick Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Alexander Griboedov, Betsy Hulick, Columbia University Press, Russian drama, Woe From Wit, Woe From Wit: A Verse Comedy in Four Acts

Theater Commentary: Peering into the Post-Covid Future for the New Play Sector

I’m curious to see what happens next. I’ll keep writing plays, but I might need to hone my skills as a handyman just in case this whole theater thing doesn’t pan out.

By: Patrick Gabridge Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: COVID-19, drama, new playwrights, Patrick Gabridge, Playwrighting, Theater
