Theater Reviews: A Miscast
In his 50-year career, Trevor Nunn, former director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre of Great Britain, and, well, Cats, has staged 34 of the 37 canonical works of Shakespeare. His production of Pericles for Brooklyn’s Theatre for a New Audience — his first with Americans — makes No. 35. Except for checking off another conquest, it’s a peculiar choice; Pericles is constructed like a summer-vacation movie, with about as much coherence and consequence. One loses count of the shipwrecks and reincarnations. Scholars attribute its jumbliness to dual authorship, arguing that Shakespeare wrote only the second half, some 827 out of 1,662 lines, which is a convenient analysis for Bardolaters because those lines are by far the better ones. The first half, mostly a pileup of misfortunes and coincidences as Pericles finds a wife, fathers a child, and loses both, is what Ben Jonson called it: a “mouldy tale.” The rest, despite its miraculous … [Read more...] about Theater Reviews: A Miscast
The Jarring Spectacle of Having an Administration Worth Singing for Again
The sun cracked through the late-morning cloud cover gracing the hour-long ceremony in Washington, D.C., officially appointing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the 46th president and vice-president of the United States, bathing the Capitol-building stage in soft, new light just as Lady Gaga closed a stately rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The moment signified a shift in a terrible chapter in American history, one where reality became fractured and disputable and where the very air we breathe became a danger to public health. It was cloying, too obvious. Everything is now. The storm of the Trump years passed as the outgoing 45th president departed for his Florida home after 11 harrowing weeks of speculation as to whether Trump would, or could, simply toss the votes that delivered the victory to his opponent in November and stay on as commander-in-chief, a struggle that came to a head exactly two weeks prior on the same Capitol steps in a bloody insurrection that left … [Read more...] about The Jarring Spectacle of Having an Administration Worth Singing for Again
Theater Review: An Illuminating
Skylight is set a year after that death. It is also, significantly, about a year after Thatcher’s departure from 10 Downing Street. Though the Iron Lady is never named, Hare, abetted by Bob Crowley’s terrific scenic design, wastes no time letting us see the wreckage she left behind: Kyra now lives in a grimy, frigid apartment in a working-class housing block in northwest London. (A stage direction tells us it “seems more like Russia than England.”) It is here that Tom looks her up after three years without contact, hoping to resume their affair, this time in the open. But his plan is complicated, if not completely blocked, by differences in outlook that, once latent, are now all too obvious. While his chauffeur waits in the Mercedes downstairs, Tom, who lives in leafy Wimbledon, sniffs disapprovingly about the flat — literally, like a hound — no doubt noticing, as we do, its archeological wallpaper and air of enforced deprivation. He is more than … [Read more...] about Theater Review: An Illuminating

Laura Whitmore opted out of an autumnal wreath and instead focused on a colourful autumn doorscape all the way down one side of her doorframe.
