David R. Gammons

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: “Frankenstein” — It’s Really Alive!

Frankenstein is a gripping amalgamation of the elemental and the technological.

By: David Cruz Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: David Cruz, David R. Gammons, Frankenstein, Nick Dear, Nora Theatre Company, Underground Railway Theater

Theater Review: ASP’s “Edward II” — The Intimacy of Political Violence

Marlowe’s skill in maintaining a high level of complexity put the history play on a sophisticated footing.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Actors' ShakespeareProject, Charlestown Working Theater, Christopher Marlowe, David R. Gammons, Edward II

Theater Review: “Hand to God” — Did the Devil Really Do It?

Askins’ script is an amusing mash-up of sex comedy and supernatural horror parody.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: David R. Gammons, Hand to God, Robert Askins, SpeakEasy Stage Company

Theater Review: “A Measure of Normalcy”—Mauled at the Mall

A Measure of Normalcy pays more attention to its many themes than its characterizations..

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: A Measure of Normalcy, David R. Gammons, Gloucester Stage Company, Lucas Baisch

Fuse Theater Review: “Necessary Monsters” — A Confusing Walk on the Wild Side

Attempting to dig underneath our protective psychic skins to get at the festering Ids within, John Kuntz would like Necessary Monsters to mesh laughter and fright, comedy and horror.

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: David R. Gammons, John Kuntz, Necessary Monsters, SpeakEasy Stage Company

Theater Review: This “Comedy of Errors” is an Exhilarating Circus of Desperation

The intriguing notion of a down-and-out clown troupe struggling with a classic text propels this superb production.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Actors' Shakespeare Project, ASP, David R. Gammons, The Comedy of Errors, William-Shakespeare

Theater Review: Beached in the Living Room — “The Whale”

Unlike much of what comes through the new play development pipeline, “The Whale” proffers a coherent narrative structure — the result is a well-crafted, somewhat edgy, domestic tragedy.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: David R. Gammons, Samuel D. Hunter, SpeakEasy Stage Company, The Whale

Fuse Theater Review: Two Plays About Desperate People, Members of the 47%

The questions at stake are good ones and not asked very often in contemporary plays: why do some win and others lose in America? And what are the responsibilities of the haves and the have-nots?

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: David Lindsay-Abaire, David R. Gammons, Good People, Huntington Theare Comany, Kate Whoriskey, SpeakEasy Stage Company, Stella Adler, Stella Adler on America's Master Playwrights, Stephen Adly Guirgis, The Motherf**ker With The Hat
