Review of "Marie Antoinette" at Dobama Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 24 Apr '16

24 Apr '16

Dobama’s ‘Marie Antoinette’ promises cake, provides crumbs Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Had psychotherapy been around in the late-18th century, Sigmund Freud would have had a field-day with fellow Austrian Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen, better known as Marie-Antoinette. One of 16 children and the eighth daughter and second youngest child of the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and Maria Theresa, archduchess of Austria and queen of Hungary and Bohemia, Marie had issues. She was afraid of her forbidding mother and intimidated by her oldest brother. She was functionally illiterate though very well-versed in the empty enterprise of self-indulgence. She was culturally and socially isolated prior to being sent off as a 14-year-old to wed Louis-Auguste, the heir to the throne of France, and she was even lonelier during her time as Queen. Which wasn’t very long. Marie was famously imprisoned and beheaded during the French Revolution at the age of 37. In “Marie Antoinette,” first performed in 2012 and currently on stage at Dobama Theatre, playwright David Adjmi does Freud’s work by bringing to the surface all that ails Marie.

Hudson Players combine Second City, Shakespeare and Monty Python in Ohio Premiere!!
by Dana Herro via NEohioPAL 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

William Shakespeare passed away 400 years ago this month and every 100 years or so it’s time for him to roll over. Enter the Hudson Players current production of People vs Friar Laurence – The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet. An Ohio premier, this hilarious musical comedy, by Ron West and Phil Swann, is told in a style that combines The Second City, Monty Python and Shakespeare all in one great show! With a small core of actors playing a wide variety of roles, the show has quick changes and an even faster pace, resulting in rapid fire humor. After all, what better way to celebrate Shakespeare’s death than with a show that would have killed him with laughter? The show begins with Friar Laurence from Romeo and Juliet fame, behind bars and charged with the murder of the two young lovers. The twisted trial progresses into a Vaudeville-like mayhem in the race to determine the plot behind the ultimate blame for Romeo and Juliet’s demise at the feet of Friar Laurence. The fast-moving freight train of characters and non-stop Shakespearean spoof of adventure takes the audience on a musical journey of love, confusion and chaos. The show, a smash hit for Chicago Shakespeare Theater, is the funniest mash up of Shakespeare, sketch comedy, and American theater you’ve ever seen (with a lot of fun music thrown in to boot). The show runs April 29, 30, May 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 20 & 21. Tickets can be purchase via the Hudson Players website at www.HudsonPlayers.com or via phone at 330-655-8522. Don’t miss this great opportunity to see a fun, new, different, musical comedy and Ohio premier. “The People vs. Friar Laurence does to Romeo and Juliet what Mel Brooks did to Robin Hood and westerns, though it may be even wittier.” –Lansing City Pulse
