David Mamet
Glengary Glenn Ross is a dense, throttling work in which the lead characters - day-to-day salesmen at a real estate firm - take on the role of career-hungry hatchet men whose primary goal is to sell, …

Death and the Maiden

Repo! The Genetic Opera
"Repo: The Genetic Opera" is one of the worst musicals ever to hit theaters. Directed by "Saw II" helmer Darren Lynn Bousman, the film is a hybrid of "Saw" and "The Sound of Music", with visually ugly …

Peter and the Starcatchers
If you are in the NYC area, or will be before April 24th I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you take a trip out to a small off-broadway theater to check out this amazing show.  Having been an avid Peter Pan …

Doctor Faustus
Marlowe answered Lennon's dreadful and dreary supposition nearly 400 years in advance, and the disputation was over long before it started. As surely as there is a heaven, which Faustus could see …

Waiting for Godot
The play was hard to get through; there was no direction of the plot.  I once again found this piece of literature to be absurd.  Beckett played with a few interesting ideas, but he didn’t …

Faustus
I read Faustus with high anticipation, but it disappointed -or rather, perplexed--me. My judgment is highly subjective -don't trust it alone--but in the first act, where, naturally, the playwright must …
