THEATER REVIEW: Politics and Identity in Inis Nua’s The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning

Director Tom Reing gives us an accomplished, exhilaratingly theatrical show, but the core story and its protagonist remain elusive.

A few curious choices mark Jonathan Kent’s production, but they don’t diminish the play or Jessica Lange’s riveting performance.

Director Brenna Geffers’ visually stunning production turns an old play into the freshest, most daring show in town.

Laura Eason’s play, a mix of serious themes and meet-cute glibness, is simultaneously overwrought and undercooked.

This Crucible, a veritable melting pot of theatrical ideas, is by turns heartbreaking and brilliant, overwrought and silly.

Here, in the original “Room Where It Happens,” nothing interesting happened.
