Theatre Reviews

Henry IV | The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis

| Print |

Written by Tyson Blanquart Wednesday, 22 February 2006 06:28

Yellowman | The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis Studio Series

The play-within-a-play structure works beautifully as playwright  Ira Levin takes us on a succession of plot twists too numerous too count and too cunning to predict.

 

 

Proof | Alton Little Theater

Written by Anne Earney Thursday, 26 January 2006 03:50

The production a has so much going for it—fabulous actors, beautiful set, excellent direction—that if you fail to make it to the Alton Little Theater, you’ll have only yourself to blame.

Anger seems to be the constant undercurrent among the actors, especially during the first act, despite talk of happy times and of liking one another.
 

Saint Francis and the Sultan

Written by Anne Earney Thursday, 19 January 2006 04:52

If we had a person like Francis in the world today, would we listen to him or her any more than the Sultan does in Hickenlooper’s play?

A one-woman show is work and Ensler makes it look like a day in the park.
 

Caroline, or Change

Himes assembled a top-notch cast and Burwinkel gave the actors a breathtaking and cleverly designed set to help tell the story.

Annie is a story that the little girl in all of us can appreciate.
 

I Am My Own Wife

| Print |

Written by Anne Earney Tuesday, 10 January 2006 04:46
