Fringe roundup

I saw a few shows at this year's Fringe (including four on Wednesday alone, which isn't even competitive compared to what hardcore Fringe goers can do) and lived to tell the tale in the NYT. Click here for the lowdown.

Quiet, Comfort

Alec Duffy and the Hoi Polloi company gave Toshiki Okada's Quiet, Comfort a gem of a production at Jack. My review for the NYT is here.

Karen Finley's Unicorn Gratitude Mystery

By golly, Karen Finley still has it! My review of her new triptych, at the Laurie Beechman every Sunday, is here.

Alice in Black and White

Staten Island's homegrown hero, the pioneering photojournalist Alice Austen, gets an affectionate biographical play, Alice in Black and White. My NYT review is here.

Troilus and Cressida

Troilus and Cressida is described as a problem play. It looks like someone solved it. My NYT review of this Shakespeare in the Park production is here.

Roundup of three shows from the New York Musical Festival

I checked out NYMF's Nickel Mines, The Last Word and Tink! Read on to know which one was fabulous and which ones, not so much.

Summer Shorts, Series A

Summer wouldn't be summer without this anthology of one-act plays. And Summer Shorts wouldn't be Summer Shorts without a piece by Neil LaBute. My review is here.

The Iron Heel

I traveled to Fort Greene's South Oxford Space (which is awesome, by the way) for The Iron Heel, a stage adaptation of a fairly obscure Jack London novel. Click here for the review.
