When we last left England, Henry IV, having deposed Richard II, was on the throne grumbling about his son, the wastrel Hal. “Can no man tell me of my unthrifty son?/’Tis full three months since I did see him last;/If any plague hang over us, ’tis he.” [Read more...]

Stamp collecting is far more risky than you think. After their mother’s death, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include the crown jewel for collectors. One sister tries to collect on the windfall, while the other resists for sentimental reasons. In this gripping tale, a seemingly simple sale becomes dangerous when three seedy, high-stakes collectors enter the sisters’ world, willing to do anything to claim the rare find as their own.

From the first moment that London’s filthy underbelly materializes like the damned rising from the river Styx to sing the opening refrain, we know that we are in a musical about a serial killer [Read more...]

Top Pick! – Captivating. Stirring. Breathtaking. Lyrical. Words cannot fully describe the power of this “memory play”.
I’ve seen no fewer than four productions of The Glass Menagerie in the last few years. Each time, I’m taken aback at just how brilliant the words of Tennessee Williams are, [Read more...]

Behold the King (Michael Hayden)! He looks marvelous – sitting on his gleaming golden throne, wearing magnificent clothes. His gold crown flows from his lustrous hair as naturally as if it grows from his head, and he surrounded by flattering courtiers (Louis Lotorto, Jason Marr, and Scott Whitehurst). [Read more...]
