Theater Review: “People, Places & Things” — Grappling with Addiction

People, Places & Things memorably tackles the insidiousness of addiction.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Duncan Macmillan, Marianna Bassham, People Places & Things, SpeakEasy Stage Company

Theater Review: “Every Brilliant Thing” — The Weight of the World

Adrianne Krstansky, a marvelous actress, understandably exhibits signs of the strain of having to carry the entire production on her shoulders.

Theater Review: “Julius Caesar” — Attacked with Vigor

Probably as it should be for a group called the Actors’ Shakespeare Project, the performances in Julius Caesar are the thing.

Theater Review: Actors’ Shakespeare Project’s Extraordinarily Meta-“Hamlet”

In this innovative production, Hamlet comes off as Shakespeare’s most successful genre mash-up of tragedy and comedy.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Actors' Shakespeare Project, Doug Lockwood, Hamlet, Marianna Bassham, Omar Robinson, Richard Snee, William-Shakespeare

Fuse Theater Review: “The Whole World” — The Monsters Are Us

Stage Review: A Not-So-Perfect “Future Perfect” at SpeakEasy Stage

Playwright Ken Urban doesn’t seem to have a strong point of view about his thirtysomethings-in-a-muddle; neither does he allow them to change or grow.

By: Terry Byrne Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: A Future Perfect, Ken Urban, Marianna Bassham, SpeakEasy Stage Company

Theater Review: “Hedda Gabler” at the Gamm Theatre — Not Subtle, But Lively

Despite some awkward staging decisions and the script tampering, there is plenty of lively drive in this production of Hedda Gabler.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Hedda Gabler, Henrik Ibsen, Marianna Bassham, Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre, Tony-Estrella

Theater Review: Actors’ Shakespeare Project Mounts a Memorable “Cherry Orchard”

Director Melia Bensussen handles the dialogue skillfully, but she also has an eye for creating vivid stage pictures which reinforce Chekhov’s dramatic themes.

By: Iris Fanger Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Actors' Shakespeare Project, Marianna Bassham, Marya Lowry, Steven Barkhimer, The Cherry Orchard
