Review of "Intimate Apparel" at Ensemble Theatre
by Bob Abelman 26 Jan '20

26 Jan '20

‘Intimate Apparel’ a sepia toned slice of turn-of-the-20th century life Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Seeing the name Lynn Nottage on the playbill for Ensemble Theatre’s “Intimate Apparel” should be enough to tell you that the simple story slowly unfolding on stage is more than it appears to be. After all, the playwright earned a MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellowship and is the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama – twice – and nearly every accolade available. And she has penned some of the most powerful modern plays about marginalized Americans and lost voices. For more of this review, go to: www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/bob_abelman/

Review of "Skeleton Crew" at Dobama Theatre
by Bob Abelman 25 Jan '20

25 Jan '20

Dobama’s ‘Skeleton Crew’ a powerful requiem for blue collar America Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Cultural anthropology has never been more probing or poetic than Dominique Morisseau’s aptly titled “Skeleton Crew,” a case study of the working-class conscience teetering on the brink of extinction. It is a relevant, riveting and important piece of work. The play explores big ticket items like the cycle of poverty, the oppression of the black working-class, and the demise of industrial middle-America as seen through the small lens of the breakroom of a struggling Motor City automotive plant. There we find four workers whose morality and souls are put to the test when their survival is on the line. In the tradition of fellow anthropological playwrights like Arthur Miller and August Wilson, Morisseau is well aware that there are greater lessons to be learned when morality fails and souls are lost.
