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: “Sweat” — Icarus’s Children

For me, Sweat hits its riveting stride in its second half, when the pressures of the strike tests the relationships of its working class characters.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Children of the Sun, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Lynn Nottage, Maxim Gorky, Sweat

Theater Review: “Quixote Nuevo” — The Impossible Trauma

Octavio Solis’ Quixote Nuevo, is a genial, and very American, riff on Don Quixote.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Don Quixote, Huntington-Theatre-Company, KJ Sanchez, Octovio Solis, Quixote Nuevo

Theater Review: “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” — Absurdist Death Pangs

Much ado about nihilism.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater, Uncategorized Tagged: Huntington-Theatre-Company, Peter-DuBois, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, tom-stoppard

Theater Review: “Indecent” — A Dangerous World for People of Faith

Indecent is a play of contrasts: piety versus blasphemy, joy versus heartbreak.

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Huntington-Theatre-Company, Indecent, Paula-Vogel, Rebecca Taichman

Theater Review: HTC’s “Romeo and Juliet” — A Seamless Marriage between Old and New

The HTC’s Romeo and Juliet may be dressed in modern trappings, but the play’s elemental heart and soul are left fully intact.

By: Erik Nikander Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Erik Nikander, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Romeo and Juliet

Theater Review: Return to “A Doll’s House”? — You Can’t Go Home Again

A Doll’s House, Part 2 comes off as a return to the barn — after the door has fallen off its hinges.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: A Doll's House Part 2, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Les Waters, Lucas Hnath

Theater Review: “Man in the Ring” — A Precipitous Fall

Acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Michael Cristofer’s script is very open about portraying Emile Griffith’s sexuality.

By: Matt Hanson Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Emile Griffith, Huntington-Theatre-Company, John Douglas Thompson, Man in the Ring, Matt Hanson, Michael Cristofer

Arts Commentary: Another View of “The Niceties”

To an extent, The Niceties does probe a fault line between the Democratic Party and the left: a boundary that will rupture sooner rather than later.

By: Lucas Spiro Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: Eleanor Burgess, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Kimberly Senior, The Niceties

Theater Review: “The Niceties” — The Gloves Are Off

Eleanor Burgess’ The Niceties is an articulate, if structurally crabbed, expression of #blacklivesmatter anger as well as a millennial rebel yell.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Eleanor Burgess, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Kimberly Senior, The Niceties
