Central Square Theater

Theater Review: “Vanity Fair: An (Im-)morality Play” — Amoral Fun Galore!

Underground Railway Theater has a runaway hit. You’ll never see a show quite like it. It’s bold, ridiculous, and very risky.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Central Square Theater, David Greenham, David R. Gammons, Underground Railway Theater, Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray

Theater Review: Bedlam’s “Crucible” — Burn, Baby, Burn

Theater Review: “Paradise” — A Fascinating Culture Clash

Theater Review” “Intimate Exchanges” — Semi-furious Comic Froth

It’s good fun and, for a while at least, it’s interesting to watch the actors fulfill the play’s impish demands.

Theater Review: Nora Theatre Company’s “Marjorie Prime” — A Futuristic Misfire

Theater Review: Bedlam’s Transfixing, Twinned Twelfth Nights

There is nothing quite so exhilarating as watching Shakespeare done right – except, perhaps, watching one of his plays done right, twice.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Bedlam, Central Square Theater, Eric Tucker, Kamela Dolinova, Nora Theatre Company, Twelfth Night: Twelfth Night (or What You Will), What You Will (or Twelfth Night)
