REVIEW: In Opera Philadelphia’s Written on Skin, Music and Theater Triumph

But why isn’t there more light and clarity in this moody but muddy work about illuminated manuscripts?

Hats off to EgoPo for the theatrical coup of the season: mounting John Guare’s epic play cycle.

In director Ken Marini’s revelatory production, Beckett’s modern classic feels freshly-minted.

MJ Kaufman’s play is big on dogma and short on insight.

This chamber-sized production offers some large-scale musical pleasures.

Walnut Street’s handsome production doesn’t quite cut to the core of Stephen Karam’s fine play.

McCarter’s enjoyable production doesn’t fully realize the shows virtuosity or pathos.

139 years after its premiere, Ibsen’s masterpiece still feels razor-sharp.

Walnut Street Theatre’s talented ensemble is its own reward, but they can’t disguise the thinness of Ken Ludwig’s script.

Some darkly provocative ideas here keep bumping heads with the upbeat tone at the center.
