Theater Reviews
The torture of being Korean
Defector from the North, goose father from the South
Much of Hansol Jung’s Wild Goose Dreams takes place in a cyberspace Babel. Throngs of voices, mantras of zeroes and ones, and pop-up ads scream for attention, pinball off each other, and drift away. If ...
Betty the Loon never had a dream with a happy ending
Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds — always popular with teenagers
Mr. Goodman and his colleagues at the local high school are convinced Beatrice Hunsdorfer is insane. Every time she calls the school, she’s either too syrupy-calm or tongue-ablaze raving. Does she love her daughters — ...
Hamlet — infinite tragedy
Grantham Coleman flaps his arms chicken-wing, he bobble-heads
You could say that Shakespeare’s Hamlet wakes up in the ultimate actor’s nightmare. He’s thrust onstage with no training. He’ll perform without rehearsals, or even peeking at the text. He must find out the play ...
Kill Local brings savagery to La Jolla Playhouse
This family all kills
Mat Smart’s Kill Local opens way up in a high-rise either under construction or in development-limbo. Yellow “Caution” tape demarcates where windows will be, or should have been. Same with a ladder and orange wheelbarrow ...
Maid Marian has Errol Flynn's DNA

Lest we be lost in the long black night
Gamma Rays at Cygnet Theatre
On account of inexcusable ignorance, I initially thought that Cygnet Theatre had produced a contemporary drama with Paul Zindel’s The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds. To my ear, the title fit a short ...
Everybody is a little bit racist
Avenue Q at the OB Playhouse
Avenue Q brings its irreverent version of Sesame Street to the OB Playhouse through September 17th. Written by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx way back in 2002, the bawdy puppets still feel fresh and timely. ...
Hamlet, and wacky theories
To be or not be at the Old Globe
Following in the rich tradition of worldwide dads, my father has been known to entertain a bevy of wacky theories, often encapsulated in simple pronouncements that sound absurd on the face of things, but ultimately ...
