-Theatre in Review: Three Scenes in the Life of a Trotskyist (The Tank)

Theatre in Review: Three Scenes in the Life of a Trotskyist (The Tank)

Three Rounds in the Life of a Trotskyist would be a more apt title: Andy Boyd's verbally two-fisted drama cannily traces the career arc of a prominent neoconservative like Irving Kristol, explaining how a fiery young Marxist ...More

-Theatre in Review: The Seven Year Disappear (The New Group/Pershing Square Signature Center)

Theatre in Review: The Seven Year Disappear (The New Group/Pershing Square Signature Center)

Given the popularity of the characters she plays in the series And Just Like That... and The Gilded Age, it's easy to forget Cynthia Nixon's astonishing versatility. Only a few seasons ago, she confidently shuttled ...More

-Theatre in Review: Oh, Mary! (Lucille Lortel Theatre)

Theatre in Review: Oh, Mary! (Lucille Lortel Theatre)

If you're looking for an evening of riotous running around, you can't do better than Oh, Mary!, a bawdy, brazenly queer rewrite of American history that turns the Lincoln-era White House into a hotbed of forbidden passions. ...More

-Theatre in Review: A Sign of the Times (York Theatre Company at New World Stages)

Theatre in Review: A Sign of the Times (York Theatre Company at New World Stages)

Ah, nostalgia: A Sign of the Times is set in the 1960s, a time when musicals were expected to have original books and scores. What days they were: Songs crafted to suit the characters, lyrics that advanced the plot. I get ...More

-Theatre in Review: I Love You So Much I Could Die (New York Theatre Workshop)

Theatre in Review: I Love You So Much I Could Die (New York Theatre Workshop)

I Love You So Much I Could Die is an avant-garde work in reverse; instead of breaking new ground for more eloquent expression, writer/performer Mona Pirnot, aided by director Lucas Hnath, wraps herself in so ...More

-Theatre in Review: Spiritus/Virgil's Dance (Rattlestick Theater)

Theatre in Review: Spiritus/Virgil's Dance (Rattlestick Theater)

Spiritus/Virgil's Dance finds writer-performer Dael Orlandersmith in a minor key, so much so that I wonder if theatre is the right format for it. In pieces like Until the Flood, Forever, and Horsedreams ...More

-Theatre in Review: On Set with Theda Bara (Transport Group/Lucille Lortel Theatre at The Brick)

Theatre in Review: On Set with Theda Bara (Transport Group/Lucille Lortel Theatre at The Brick)
