Criticism

REVIEW:Trouble in Paradise — Double-Bill at Curtis Opera (for Parterre Box)

Chas Rader-Shieber’s conflation was simultaneously over-conceptualized and insufficiently thought through.

Inis Nua’s Scottish import teeters between grim uncertainty and twinkly charm.

There’s little here about love, but the show suggests that obsession lasts forever.

James Ijames’ powerful play and Blanka Zizka’s fabulously theatrical staging must be seen.

A nearly-lost gem of a play gets a glowing revival by the gifted Philadelphia Artists Collective.

Some fine acting enlivens Irish Heritage Theatre’s production, but the show is punching above its weight.

In 90 understated minutes, Tracy Letts sums up a life.

A starry production at New Jersey Rep can’t overcome the thinness of Michael Tucker’s play.

The author has tweaked her intriguing, elliptical script in problematic ways.

Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s energetic production makes a good case for the play without solving all its problems.
