Philadelphia

Notes on The Niceties at McCarter Theatre Center

Eleanor Burgess’s thought-provoking, intelligent play was a balm to my wounded soul.

Blanka Zizka’s high-concept production consistently tries too hard.

Nearly everything about America seems to frighten this playwriting snowflake.

We’ve moved on from Harold Pinter’s pregnant, tedious pauses. Who has the time?

A charming and unusual song program showcased AVA’s rising group of singers.

Two highly satisfying evenings, more evenly drawn than I had expected.

Anthony Lawton’s adaptation takes a familiar tale and electrifyingly gives it new life.

A pair of current productions of A Doll’s House, Part 2 find very different qualities in Lucas Hnath’s cheeky sequel.

Take my yeast—please!

This noisy but empty show is more like a Wild Goose Chase.
