REVIEW: DF on The Hills of California at the Broadhurst Theatre

Jez Butterworth’s play wants to both shine a harsh light on nostalgia, and to bask in it.

It’s a joy to see this great playwright equally at home as a screenwriter and director.

Lucy Kirkwood’s riveting and unsettling play is both fresh and a welcome return to old-school playmaking.

This is the show that this season captured theater cognoscenti like no other.

Each successive version pushed the envelope further… and was less effective.

Eleanor Burgess’s insightful, moving play explores how the gospel should be spread.

Director Lila Neeugebauer’s production refashions Chekhov’s play as a Steve Carell movie.

This tale of the trials and tribulations of making great music is brilliantly in tune.

There is lots to hear and see in this Tommy, but little to feel.

In tribute to the great playwright, who left us on April 2nd, here’s a 2005 interview with Durang conducted by DF.
