Theater Review: “Everyday Life and Other Odds and Ends” — “This Whole Going Downhill Thing”

Everyday Life and Other Odds and Ends is admirable because it takes contemporary theater into fresh territory — the slow paralysis of the body and the demands this decline makes on caregivers.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: ArtsEmerson, Charlotte Meehan, Everyday Life and Other Odds and Ends, Sleeping Weazel

Theater Commentary: Where Is Our Rage?

Why are Boston stages reacting so serenely to our current miasmas — pandemical, political, economic, and spiritual.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, ArtsEmerson, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Natasha Tripney, The Stage

Theater Review: “The Peculiar Patriot” — All Heart

The Peculiar Patriot may say it is about making us feel the human price of mass incarceration in America, but there is more than a little True Romance in the mix.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: ArtsEmerson, Hi-Arts, Liza Jessie Peterson, National Black Theatre, Talvin Wilks, The Peculiar Patriot

Yes, another circus show has come to town with players who display breath-taking athleticism in all its cheeky glory.

Theater Review: “Daughter of a Cuban Revolutionary” — Heartfelt History

Daughter of a Cuban Revolutionary is at its most theatrically gripping when Marissa Chibas is caught up in her memories.

By: Jess Viator Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: ArtsEmerson, Daughter of a Cuban Revolutionary, Jess Viator, Marissa Chibas, Mira Kingsley.

Fuse Theater Review: “Historia de Amor” at ArtsEmerson — Daring and Unsparing Theater

Based on a graphic novel, the brilliant Historia de Amor is unrelenting in its darkness. It’s as if we’re swimming in a pool of India ink.

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: ArtsEmerson, Cutler Majestic Theatre, Historia de Amor, Juan Carlos Zagal, Teatrocinema
