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: A Tepid “Fall”

Fall’s conflict is presented with insufficient power; its domestic tragedy is not propelled along its inevitably troubling course.

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Arthur Miller, Bernard Weinraub, Fall, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Peter-DuBois

Theater Review: Huntington Theatre Company’s “Tartuffe” — Relevant as Ever

The Huntington Theatre Company’s production of Molière’s classic is bright and energetic.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Erik Nikander, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Molière, Peter-DuBois, Tartuffe

Fuse Theater Review: Sondheim’s Scintillating Portrait of the Artist — Sunday in the Park with George

The cherry on top of this terrific production is its stunning technical design, from lighting and sets to sound, projection, and costumes.

By: Evelyn Rosenthal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Adam Chanler-Berat, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Jenni Barber, Peter-DuBois, Stephen-Sondheim, Sunday in the Park with George

Theater Review: “Can You Forgive Her?” — Not Really

Gina Gionfriddo’s would-be black comedy about the American worship of money and status is a misfire on all levels.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: "Can You Forgive Her?", Allyn Burrows, Chris Henry Coffey, Gina Gionfriddo, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Meredith Forlenza, Peter-DuBois

Theater Review: “A Little Night Music” — Staged Beautifully, and with Heart

The Huntington Theatre Company’s magnificent production of Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece A Little Night Music is as good as it gets.

By: Evelyn Rosenthal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: A Little Night Music, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Peter-DuBois, Stephen-Sondheim

Fuse Theater Review: “after all the terrible things I do” — Taking a Safe Stand

Scripts of this well-intentioned variety are big on exalting forgiveness and empathy – calls for justice are rare for obvious reasons.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: A. Rey Pamatmat, After All The Terrible Things I Do, bullying, homophobia, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Peter-DuBois

Theater Review: “Smart People” — A Sharp Satire of a “Post-Racial” World

Lydia R. Diamond’s Smart People is an amusing takedown of our “post-racial” world, and it is receiving a snappy, well-acted production via the Huntington Theatre Company.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Huntington-Theatre-Company, Lydia R. Diamond, Peter-DuBois, Smart People

Theater Review: “The Power of Duff”? The Same Old Guff

Whenever you hear greeting card bromides intoned with a straight face (it’s usually in scenes set in a hospital) you know that moral fuzziness isn’t far behind.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Huntington-Theatre-Company, Peter-DuBois, Stephen Belber, The Power of Duff

Theater Review: “Rapture, Blister, Burn” Snaps, Crackles, and Pops

“Rapture, Blister, Burn” feels less like an exploration of feminism today than a clever sitcom pilot that won’t be able to sustain its jokes for an entire season.

By: Terry Byrne Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: Gina Gionfriddo, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Peter-DuBois, Rapture Blister Burn
