Theater Review: “Calendar Girls” — A Warm Crowd-Pleaser

Apart from a few weak elements, GBS’s Calendar Girls is a well-acted, well-staged comedic romp filled with wit, warmth, and genuine insight.

By: Erik Nikander Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Calendar Girls, Erik Nikander, Greater Boston Stage Company, Nancy E. Carroll

Theater Review: “Ripcord” — Bittersweet Geriatrics

Yes, Ripcord is candied, but there’s just enough astringency blended in to make the sugar sufficiently tangy.

Fuse Theater Review: “The New Electric Ballroom” — Life’s Stark But Beautiful Melodies

Like Samuel Beckett, Enda Walsh does not ignore the tenderness that flourishes, often under the duress of absurdity.

Theater Review: Viva “The World Fixer” at Austrian Stage

In this fiction and plays, Thomas Bernhard creates fascinatingly repugnant monsters, black holes of egotism that are symptomatic of our spiritual and moral myopia.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater, World Books Tagged: Austrian Stage, contemporary German literature, Guy Ben-Aharon, Jeremiah Kissel, Nancy E. Carroll, The World Fixer, Thomas-Bernhard, translation

Fuse Theater Review: “4000 Miles” — A Journey Worth Taking at the Gloucester Stage Company

4000 Miles is a showcase for dramatist Amy Herzog’s quirky sensibilities and canny insights into family dynamics.
