[Review] Grandmotherfucker

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

The sassiness of the show title belies the endearing fragility of this highly strung, warm, likeable New Yorker. Subtle and bawdy by turns, Canderas mulls over the traumas of childhood in a dysfunctional Irish Catholic family; her “quest to be a regular lady”; and finally coping with life as an older widow whose sexuality [...]

[Review] Crunch

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

You are welcomed to Crunch by a sweet guitarist enquiring to your health and if the audience had fruit for breakfast? Enter the apple.
Then there’s the Adam and Eve apple, the Newton apple, an apple Jack called John, Wilhelm Tell and Snow white. There are songs, some funnier than others, and funny lines: “can’t tell [...]

Two ‘country [...]

[Review] The Umbillical Project - Cut and Uncut

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

This project is about what happens when a play has two different directors for two casts in two different venues. Cut wasn’t much shorter and actually referred to the writer having cut the umbilical cord to the play she wrote by giving it to another director. She directed the Uncut version herself.
The play tells [...]
