A GROUNDBREAKING ACHIEVEMENT INDEED The short take on this play is that Jake Shore — as they say at the website The Rumpus — WRITES LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER. He is new to me, but he’s not an unknown quantity. At least one critic has compared his previous work to Beckett. In my case, both Harold…

Theater Review: TURRET (A Red Orchid at Chopin Theatre)
