REVIEW: The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui Is Harder to Resist Than It Should Be

For better and worse, Lantern Theater’s production charms rather than alienates us.

EgoPo Theatre makes a welcome return to Tennessee Williams’ with this fascinating dramaticule.

Fringe rethinkings of William Inge and Tennessee Williams have fascinating, sometimes revelatory results.

Did Bard’s Festival raise our sense of the composer’s classical works? Yes and no.

The biggest problem here was sensory overload.

Although I saw this provocative production a month ago, I continue to think about it.

The maestro captures superbly this work’s complex mix of diverse elements.

For all of its winking loucheness, the show is utterly devoid of any real suggestion of sex.

A thrillingly full-throttle rarity, with much to celebrate in the fine singing here.

Within minutes, something wonderful happened, and none of my reservations mattered.
