THEATER REVIEW: In Shtheads*, A Bicycle Shop is a Cross Section of America

Douglas Williams’ funny, touching play may be the best 90 minutes you’ll spend in a theater this year.

Every entertaining minute is awash in excess in a show that practically defines “guilty pleasure.”

Lee Coffey’s virtuoso play is a sobering glimpse of a world we don’t often see on stage.

Idiopathic Ridiculopathy’s little gem of a show has something profound to offer.

This gorgeous, provocative production reimagines the play from the inside out.

This story of black sisters born in the 19th Century feels itself to belong to another time.

These idiosyncratic, often illuminating productions now at McCarter register in surprising ways.

Playwright Mary Tuomanen’s quirky voice will delight some viewers and infuriate others.

Deborah Zoe Laufer’s play begins and ends well, but groans under a surfeit of issues.

This often enjoyable production doesn’t fully capture the play’s sublime, disquieting oddness.
