This play is hilarious -- one laugh after another, and done with style and vivacity. I enjoyed every moment -- and smile thinking back to it. It's a spooky take-off on Gothic melodrama, Shak…
... humanity ... This is a rare opportunity to see one of the finest and most compelling works of art ever made. The bronze Boxer* is somewhat over life-size but so immediate it's hard to th…

Richard Foreman and the Ontological-Hysteric Theater that he founded in New York City in 1968 have been icons of avant garde theater. He's made a number of statements about his philosophical…
Raising awareness of difficult and agonizing aspects of existence has a powerful place among the purposes of art. Qureshi's roof garden installation certainly does that. The installation ref…
Whatever Williams may have worked out for himself in this 1981 exercise of adaptation, he didn't do any good for Chekhov, much as he admired the Russian playwright. Evidently it was importan…
Kon-Tiki is one of the world's great stories -- not so well told in this movie BUT the story is SO good it's worth seeing the movie anyhow. It's an astonishingly audacious adventure. The Nor…
