Many people have attempted adaptations of Hamlet. And so has Mel Gibson. Anytime it happens, there is always the problem of how to faithfully depict Shakespeare’s masterpiece without going too far. Why break it if you can’t fix it?

The events of September 11th, 2001 left Americans, English and Irish travelers stranded for days in the 10,000 plus town of Gandor, Newfoundland. The travelers were making the transoceanic flight across the Atlantic to New York City when American soil was attacked. In midair, the planes were diverted to Gandor International Airport. The travelers were […]

Very few people have led lives interesting enough to describe in detail to others (as proven by the experience of countless cocktail parties).  Fortunately for Fringegoers, Geraldine Buckley is one of those rare exceptions.  Better yet, she tells her story in an entertaining manner in Destination?  Slammer!

If you’ve ever had toe fungus, Dale’s plight will put your problem in perspective.  His private parts are infested by . . . well, let’s just call it another form of life.  To tell you any more would ruin the fun of the delightful Incurable by Seamus Sullivan.

In the 21st century, love sometimes seems to be as much about science as it is about soulmates. Between online dating and Facebook relationship statuses, romance has been completely digitized. Much of these modern quirks are examined in The Magical Marriage Computer and Other Plays, but for the most part, the production seems as robotic as […]

Pandora: A Tragicomic Greek Romp features Pandora, the Greek gods’ gift to mankind and Nikodemos, a prolific but not always successful inventor in ancient Greece.  What a shame that he never got around to inventing scissors or an editor’s blue pencil because a funny premise is weakened by the length and repetitiveness of the script.

Black folded programs held together with waxen blood drops greet our hands as we enter the theater. A glowing crown made of Christmas lights hang on the edge of a pale pink antique armchair. At first glance Insurgent Sonata by Timothy J. Guillot looks like something out of a child’s imagination, a magical play place. […]

Zero complaints about the dance technique in DC Aerial Collective’s UPheaval. The women of the Collective are clearly well trained, strong, and fearless performers, capable of feats at which most mere mortals can only wonder.

Vijai Nathan takes her namesake very seriously. If you choose to see this show (and you should), you will discover why. To offer a hint, Vijai steers comedic puns and paints characterizations with the wrath of Athena.

David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross is a top notch play. Saturday’s performance at the Warehouse was a quality one, but it did not exceed expectations. Call me jaded, but this production of Glengarry Glen Ross needed something more than what was there.

They had me at “$800 for supplies”. FLASHBACK to elementary school. A much shorter version of your critic has just received excellent news. Recess has been cancelled due to rain! For the fifth time this week! 

Before the show began, the theatre was almost completely full of audience members sitting in their seats with big smiles, a few dance moves, and perhaps a beer in their hand. It must have been because they knew they were about to see a great show (in my humble opinion, the best Fringe production I’ve seen this year).
