Wesley Savick

Theater Review: “Rhinoceros” on Newbury Street

With conformity on the march, Ionesco’s Rhinoceros remains as timely as ever.

Theater Review: “Einstein’s Dreams” — Time After Time

Wesley Savick not only does a fine job of adapting Alan Lightman’s text, but in his role as director he squares the circle.

Theater Review: Boxed In — “Yesterday Happened: Remembering H. M.”

Dramatist and director Wesley Savick faces a number of fascinating but formidable theatrical challenges, and the generally compelling Yesterday Happened (how could it not be, given its story?) takes an honorable, visually striking swipe at the problems.

Coming Attractions in Theater: March 2011

An exciting month, and that isn’t hyperbole. A couple of North American premieres: a futuristic opera from MIT’s Tod Machover and poet Robert Pinsky and a drama tweaking The New Testament from Howard Brenton. Toss in iconic director Peter Brook staging Beckett, F. Murray Abraham as Shylock, and Car Talk:The Musical and you are talking about taking out the smelling salts
