Theater Review: “King John” — Fractured History Lesson

Praxis Stage picked the right time to stage a Shakespeare play about a head of state who doesn’t have anything on his mind but corruption.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Daniel Boudreau, Kimberly Gaughan., King John, Praxis Stage

Theater Review: Praxis Stage’s “Coriolanus” — Riled-Up Warriors

The audience members were as diverse as the cast, the show is not being staged in a traditional space in Boston, and the play is incredibly relevant.

Theater Review: “The Plague” — A Necessary Moral Parable

In a culture that seems hell-bent on distracting us from painful realities, the intimacy of this production comes off as redemptive and inspiring.

By: Matt Hanson Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Albert Camus, Daniel Boudreau, Matt Hanson, Neil Bartlett, Praxis Stage, The Plague

Theater Interview: Adaptor Neil Bartlett on Seeing Your Own Plague in “The Plague”

Albert Camus brings a bracing response to thinking about the worse that is missing in so many of our current dystopias.

Theater Review: “for colored girls …” — A Welcome Reprise

Shange’s nervy mix of wordplay and in-your-face didacticism — of resilience in the face of hardship — is very much the empowering thing.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: For colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf, Hibernian Hall, Ntozake Shange, Praxis Stage

Theater Review: “Accidental Death of an Anarchist – The Vexation of Violence

Dario Fo’s dark comedy still deserves its reputation as a classic.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Alexander Castillo-Nuñez, Daniel Boudreau, Dario Fo, James Peter Sotis, Praxis Stage

Theater Interview: Critical Truth Telling and Praxis Stage’s “Julius Caesar”

Wonder why Boston theater is so bland, why there is so little political resistance?

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Interview, Preview, Theater Tagged: Daniel Boudreau, Joyce Kulhawik, Julius Caesar, Kilian Melloy, Praxis Stage

Theater Review: “Incident at Vichy” — The Vicissitudes of Guilt

Praxis Stage manages to get Arthur Miller’s message across, and it is a valuable one that must be repeated well beyond the inauguration.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Arthur Miller, Incident at Vichy, Inner Sanctum, Praxis Stage
