Review of "Plath and Orion" at Cesear's Forum
by Bob Abelman 14 Oct '18

14 Oct '18

Cesear’s Forum captivates with confessional one-acts, ‘Plath and Orion’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, American Theatre Critics Association Now playing in the small performance space buried beneath the lobby of the grand Ohio Theatre at Playhouse Square are two one-act plays that don’t often get to see the light of day. The first, “The Great Nebula in Orion,” is a fairly obscure piece that premiered in 1970 and was written by Pulitzer Prize winner and Off-Off-Broadway pioneer Lanford Wilson. The other, “Plath, Sexton and the Art of Confession,” is receiving its world premiere and was written by Greg Cesear, the founder of Cesear’s Forum and host of this production. The plays’ lineage could not be more different and neither could their tone and temperament. But as short-form confessionals that delve into the hearts and minds of the two women at each of their centers, these one-acts make for engaging companion pieces. They offer plenty to chew on for the superb actors selected to bring them to the stage and for the patrons in the audience.

Berko review: WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF @ Beck Center
by Roy Berko 14 Oct '18

14 Oct '18

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: Kudos to Don Carrier for his bullseye direction of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.” This is about as perfect a production as the script could receive. If you have never seen the Albee masterpiece on stage, see it now! You won’t have another chance to experience such a wonderfully crafted piece of theater. * *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Review of "Pride and Prejudice" at Great Lakes Theater
by Bob Abelman 14 Oct '18

14 Oct '18

Great Lakes Theater treats Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ with austerity Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, American Theatre Critics Association “In an innovative, tradition-defying rethinking of one of the greatest comedies in the English language,” begins a satirical article in a recent posting on theonion.com, “Morristown Community Players director Kevin Hiles announced Monday his bold intention to set his theater's production of Shakespeare's ‘The Merchant of Venice’ in 16th-century Venice.” "I know when most people hear ‘The Merchant Of Venice,’ they think 1960s Las Vegas, a high-powered Manhattan stock brokerage, or an 18th-century Georgia slave plantation, but I think it's high time to shake things up a bit," Hiles said. Despite Great Lakes Theater’s propensity for re-envisioning classic works, it too has gone the risky route of staging the theater version of Jane Austen’s novel “Pride and Prejudice” in the time, place and spirit in which it was penned and published over 200 years ago. In the playbill, director/co-adapter Joseph Hanreddy calls “Pride and Prejudice” a “perfectly written novel” and treats it as a sacred text for this production. His and J.R. Sullivan’s script works hard at maintaining the work’s narrative voice and calls for fairly bare-boned staging so as not to detract from Austen’s precise prose. The show’s austerity may not be to everyone’s liking and, as Morristown Community Players director Kevin Hiles learned, “audiences may be taken aback initially by the lack of Creole accents.” But Jane Austen fans will likely be delighted by this production.

CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL @ Blank Canvas
by Roy Berko 13 Oct '18

13 Oct '18

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: Blank Canvas pulls out all the stops in order to make “Cannibal! The Musical” palatable, but from my stodgy old view-point, it just doesn’t succeed. Some of the theatre’s die-hard regulars, including the guy sitting next to me who clapped and howled throughout the goings on, may be thoroughly amused, but consider this: even the usual automatic standing ovation of CLE productions, was missing. * *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
