A Little Respite, A Little Rest
Hey all. It’s your friendly neighborhood playwright/blogger here. You might have noticed a slight lull in reviewing. It’s not that I haven’t seen shows – I saw Hamlet at Park Square at the beginning of October, The Privateer at Park Square a couple of weeks ago, and In the Next Room at the Rarig Center just thisContinue reading “A Little Respite, A Little Rest”

Idiot’s Delight
I’m several weeks late getting this posted, having attended the show in mid-July, but I’d rather get it posted late than not at all because this show was too good to not talk about. In the midst of juggling a lot of things this summer, my attention has fallen to news reporting during World WarContinue reading “Idiot’s Delight”
Action Sequence
If you’re a fan of car chases, actions films, and the 1980s, In the Heart of the Beast’s current production captures all of the things to love about these things – but with puppets.
