Jen Gunnels for the New York Review of Science Fiction is only available in hard copy; perhaps apt for a play about what happens when the digital world disappears, and takes almost every piece of cultural memory…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Tiffany Clementi, Lori E. Parquet) Yikes! The show’s been closed for half a week and I still haven’t posted responses to most of the reviews. Rather than getting stuck in yesterday, I’m going to round up all those I missed here and now. It doesn’t quite do justice to the thoughtful…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Joshua Koopman) Starting to catch up! Our next review is by Haytham Elhawary from Theatre is Easy, and it’s lovely. He begins with a quote from Plato I was unfamiliar with that fits the play painfully well: “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” I also appreciate that he…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Sol Crespo, Chinaza Uche, Anna Rahn) This is, I think, Flavorpill’s 4th review with us, and looking them over, I notice that I’ve made the same “short but sweet” comment every time. I’m so original! They do, however, manage to pack a punch in a few words, as in: How sad…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Mike Mihm, Raushanah Simmons) Argh, I am so far behind in my responses to reviews! There is now Flavorpill, Theatre is Easy, Time Out New York, the New York Times and BroadwayWorld.com to respond to (am I missing any of them?) Excuse: I have been in L.A. for the TCG National…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Stephen Conrad Moore) I’m falling a wee bit behind on these! For those who don’t want to wait, go on and read That Sounds Cool, Flavorpill, and Theatre is Easy. I hope to respond to all three before the end of the week. Michael Bettencourt from OffOffOnline is our fifth review,…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Mike Mihm) Back in the day, Backstage was our first major reviewer, positively reviewing both Life is a Dream and A Midsummer Night’s Dream when not many other critics were coming our way. Then, there was a long, dry, spell after the Angel Eaters Trilogy, and though they interviewed us for…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured:Stephen Conrad Moore, Christina Shipp) Jon Sobel of Blogcritics has reviewed everything since Pretty Theft (except for Jacob’s House, I believe), and so it was great to have him return for his mixed but fair-minded review of Ajax in Iraq. His review touches on some of the exciting challenges of the play,…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Sol Crespo, Lori E Parquet, Chinaza Uche, Tiffany Clementi, Mike Mihm, Chudney Sykes) Review #2 is out, and we’re thrilled that Will Kenton from Cultural Capitol returned. You may want to reread his reviews of Jacob’s House and Dog Act to gain a deeper appreciation for the wide frame he brings…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Raushanah Simmons) Review #1 is out, and it certainly is a great way to start. Danny Bowes at nytheatre.com has some truly lovely things to say about Ajax in Iraq, speaking positively of many of the most challenging aspects of the play’s reach and complexity. After the long grind of tech…
