Theater Review: “Rose” — A Well-Acted Excursion in Storytelling

Carolyn Michel’s Rose is the sociable stranger on the bus who tempts you to miss your stop so you can hear her out to the end.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Carolyn Michel, Jim Kates, Martin Sherman, Peterborough Players, Rose

Theater Review: “A Doll’s House, Part 2” — Soulless Fan Fiction

When you do this kind of thing it has to be done with bravura and wit — bad poets borrow, good poets steal.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: A Doll's House Part 2, Lucas Hnath, Peterborough Players

Theater Review: “Dumas’ Camille ” — A Thickly Layered, But Intimate, Evening

Dumas’ Camille is nothing if not ambitious. Such complexity is seldom found on a summer stage.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Charles Morey, Dumas' Camille, Jim Kates, Peterborough Players

Theater Review: “She Loves Me” — Amiably Unambitious

This review, like the opening night of She Loves Me, is dedicated to the life and work of the late producer Harold Prince.

Theater Review: “Morning’s at Seven” — Ensemble Excellence

This production of Morning’s at Seven is a celebration of Peterborough’s theatrical family as much as it is the depiction of a fictional one.,/em>

Theater Review: “Gertrude Stein and a Companion” — A Satisfying Dramatic Fusion

In two short acts, playwright Win Wells depicts not so much a relationship as a fusion, a merging of identities into one single, complex personality.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Gertrude Stein and a Companion, Jim Kates, Peterborough Players, Win Wells

Theater Review: “Mahida’s Extra Key to Heaven” — Conversation as an Act of Healing

Written more than a decade ago, Mahida’s Extra Key to Heaven falls all too painfully closely in line with current events.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Mahida's Extra Key to Heaven, Peterborough Players, Russell Davis

Theater Review: “Sexy Laundry” — Cycling Through

Sexy Laundry airs the linen of a twenty-five-year marriage from which the colors seem to have faded, and the whites yellowed.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Bridget Beirne, Michele Riml, Peterborough Players, Sexy Laundry, Tom Frey

Theater Review: “The Man of Destiny” — A Shavian McGuffin

George Bernard Shaw’s The Man of Destiny could be an evening of delight with a frisson of cerebral exercise.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: George-Bernard-Shaw, Peterborough Players, The Man of Destiny

Theater Review: “An Inspector Calls” — Sobering Morality Play

An Inspector Calls speaks with ease to our own times, bedeviled with “alternate facts” and ethical doubts.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: An Inspector Calls, Peterborough Players
