During his career as the founder and artistic director of the Trinity Repertory Company in Providence (from 1964 to 1989), Adrian Hall achieved a lasting place in the American theater as a visionary director.

Theater Review: “A Tale of Two Cities” — Beware the Revolution!

Given Dickens’ penny-a-word driven verbosity and his fondness for resolving every plot point with a flurry of coincidences, adapter McEleney seems undecided: is this history play a tragedy or a farce?

Theater Review: August Wilson’s “Radio Golf” — The Culture We Build

The message of August Wilson’s final play: the future rests not on the number of Whole Foods we build but on the culture we value.

Theater Preview: “Buddy” Cianci’s Ghost Returns to Haunt Providence

We are definitely feeling a sense of Buddy haunting us, to be sure. I mean, this theater is the place he visited. He attended many, if not most, of the shows here.

Theater Review: “Fuente Ovejuna” — An Underwhelming Revival

Lope de Vega’s classic story of how the powerless stood up to authority — and won –deserves better treatment than clumsy caricature.

Theater Review: “Faithful Cheaters” — Delightfully Frenzied Farce

This thoroughly cockamamy world offers the kind of guilty pleasure that you hope never ends.

Theater Review: “A Lie of the Mind” – Trinity Rep’s Excellent 50th Anniversary Gift

Critic Eric Bentley valued the theater of audacity above all, and that is just what is on glorious display in Trinity Rep’s marvelously nervy A Lie of the Mind.

Theater Review: Chekhov Lite — “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike”

Chekhov’s jokes are the inevitable by-products of his characters confronting life’s absurdities; Christopher Durang is content to wring laughs out of wacky situations and cartoon caricatures.

Theater Review: Of Race and Real Estate — Clybourne Park

Given his full-throttle depiction of the myopia of middle class mores, Bruce Norris is more in the flamboyant satiric line of Sinclair Lewis, who also trained his sharp ear and eye on the Midwest, the American heartland, jabbing away at American delusions of community, status, and self-satisfaction.

Coming Attactions in Theater: October 2011

It is encouraging that the list of recommendations for October isn’t filled with musicals. Are straight plays back? I wouldn’t count on it in this economic climate. So let’s bask in the chance to hear words without music.
