February 27, 2013. Don’t expect every show. And I like long things. I think other people do to. Even though some might argue that our culture is moving from films to video clips, or from albums to mp3s, there are other shifts that point to the opposite. On demand cable and Netflix subscriptions let people consume television at marathon rates. And they often do, watching. My point is that there’s nothing. Is powerful, you can cut a lot from it and still do something great without trying your audience.

Boston Theater Review: David Cromer’s Our Town at the Huntington Theatre | Boston lowbrow

http://bostonlowbrow.com/2012/12/huntington-our-town-boston-review

David Cromer Comes to Town. December 22, 2012. Been a lot of chatter on how David Cromer’s production of. At the Huntington is somehow hard–a vacuum of the nostalgic hokeyness typically painted over Thornton Wilder’s text by high school drama teachers. And perhaps that’s true. If we get an extra coat of anything here, it’s irony and acerbity and meta. Funny and a little bit sad. Even death, at least for a few moments, is a happy place of calmness, comfort, and reunion.

The Glass Menagerie at the A.R.T. February 16, 2013. Are in place to send the ART’s production of. As Tom, Zachary Quinto is something of an incarnation of Tennessee Williams. He’s sly, poetic, and a little effeminate. As both character and narrator, his projection and commandment of the stage is extraordinary. He shifts about, like a calmly neurotic fish out of water conveying both frailty and a supreme intelligence. Tagged as: A.R.T. Previous post: David Cromer Comes to Town. Next post: On Duration.

Hub Theater’s “Lebensraum”. April 10, 2013. Usually don’t get that excited about new groups appearing on the Boston fringe scene. There’s a part of me that fears too many people (or egos) trying to do their own thing only strains a finite number a resources and pits companies against each other for what is a limited audience. But I walked out of Hub Theatre Company’s. Extraordinarily happy to have encountered this new group. Has that and, more importantly, Geoffrion gets it. Tagged as: fringe theater.
