Mini-Review – Slapdash Galaxy: 3D! – BunkPuppets at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 26 Aug 2013 | 05:29 pm
With way too much on offer at the Fringe, I was pleased to find one show that stood up and said, “See me!” Yes, the combination of shadow puppets, space pirates, and a 3D finale meant that Slapdash Ga...
Mini-review – Purge – Brian Lobel at the Forest Fringe, Edinburgh 26 Aug 2013 | 03:27 am
I’m doing something different this weekend: I’m at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the first time since I moved to England. “What?” you may ask. “How have you not been before?” Well, to be honest, i...
Mini-review – Pipe Dream – Union Theater 24 Aug 2013 | 05:58 pm
It is not without reason that I have some fear of shows which have not been produced (or revived) over a considerable period of time since their debut: even more so shows which have never been done in...
Mini-review – A Chorus Line – London Palladium 22 Aug 2013 | 07:35 pm

Review – Titus Andronicus – Malachite Theater at St Leonard’s Church, Shoreditch 14 Aug 2013 | 04:06 am

Review – As Is – Finborough Theater 11 Aug 2013 | 03:05 am
It’s been a lovely, warm, sunny summer, the kind that turns a young woman’s thoughts to sitting in the garden and having a nice drink in the evening. So what was I doing, I asked myself, going into a ...
Mini-review – The Same Deep Water as Me – Donmar Warehouse 9 Aug 2013 | 03:17 am
I’m not one much for following an actor from show to show, but I do enjoy seeing everything a playwright has to offer. This often leads to me being first in line to book tickets for some overlooked “c...
