Theater Review: Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s “Much Ado” — “A Giddy Thing”

Shakespeare’s text has been streamlined for easy consumption on a summer’s evening — there’s no intermission, lots of physical comedy, and a party vibe.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Bill-Marx, Commonweath Shakesepeare Company, Megan Sandberg-Zakian, Much Ado About Nothing

Theater Interview: “The New Galileos” — The Price of Freedom

“Plays about climate are notoriously difficult , not only because the science is complex and has become politicized, but also because audiences don’t flock to work that shows us the terrifying realities of our world.”

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Preview, Theater Tagged: Amy Berryman, Berkshire Museum, Megan Sandberg-Zakian, The New Galileos, WAM Theatre

Theater Interview: “Moonlight Abolitionists” — Graveyard Shift

“In these plays, part of my job is to unflatten history in a way that’s engaging, and also shows us that it’s okay for us to feel overwhelmed and confused and scared by the world — that we’re not so different from the people who came before us. They got through it, and we will, too.”

Theater Review: “The Niceties” — A Gentle Slap Awake?

The Niceties gives us an invaluable opportunity to hover outside of the current political debate about race and American history.

Theater Review: The Remarkable “Royale” — More Than a Sports Story

The Royale launches the Merrimack Repertory Theatre season with a gloriously theatrical punch to the gut.

Theater Review: “Chill” — Millennial Melodrama

Chill is a solid enough attempt to dramatize a millennial coming-of-age story, but it is reluctant to probe very deeply into the guts of the zeitgeist.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Chill, Eleanor Burgess, Erik Nikander, Megan Sandberg-Zakian, Merrimack Repertory Theater, Millennials

Theater Review: “The Convert” — A Zimbabwean Tragedy

The Convert is a complex historical drama that shows us individuals crushed among powerful contradictions.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Central Square Theater, Danai Gurira, Megan Sandberg-Zakian, The Convert, Underground Railway Theater
