A NOT SO PLAIN JANE Did you know that William Shakespeare was a narcissistic, whiny, pansexual, selfish, misogynistic, plagiarizing, womanizing fop? Scholars may debate the accuracy of this description but in playwright Talene Monahon’s riotous new comedic farce, The Lamentable Comedie of JANE ANGER, that Cunning Woman, and also of Willy Shakefpeare and his Peasant…

Theater Review: THE PLAY YOU WANT (Road Theatre)
THE PLAY WE NEED What starts as a joke ends in a laugh — all the way to the bank! — in The Play You Want, a world premiere comedy by Bernardo Cubría. Directed by Michael John Garcés, the play is a product of The Road Theatre Company’s playwriting workshop, Under Construction. I don’t know…

Theater Review: THE GREAT KHAN (San Diego Repertory)
GREAT KAHNCEPT! Jayden (Jerome Beck) doesn’t have it easy. He and his mother Crystal (Brittney M. Caldwell) have recently transplanted themselves in a new town and school district. The move was to protect Jayden from boys whom he prevented from sexually assaulting Ant (Mikayla LaShae Bartholomew), a girl in his class. Starting over at sixteen…
-
Music Review: JAY CAMPBELL + INTI FIGGIS-VIZUETA (LA Phil New Music Group at Disney Hall)
Concerts in the L.A. Philharmonic’s Green Umbrella new music series are always an adventure. Typically curated by the (often young) contemporary musicians and composers whose work is featured in the performances, these programs offer an eclectic array of unpredictable encounters with the avant-garde art music of our moment. Some of them are highly engaging; others…

Music Review: PROKOFIEV & SHOSTAKOVICH (LA Phil; Ludovic Morlot, conductor; Sergio Tiempo, piano)
Best known as the successful former Music Director of the Seattle Symphony, French conductor Ludovic Morlot led one of Shostakovich’s greatest symphonies last week, depicting the despair in his Tenth with an uplifting mournful passion. The opening movement can feel ponderous in the wron g hands, but here it exuded constant momentum. Even with a…

Theater Review: SLAVE PLAY (Mark Taper Forum)
MORE LIKE POWER PLAY THAN SLAVE PLAY Boy, if you want audacious theater — even one with higgledy-piggledy results — than I’ve got one for you: Slave Play, which opened last week at the Mark Taper Forum after a Broadway run. Frankly, I can’t even say that I recommend it. The show is messy and…
-
Theater Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY (Ahmanson Theatre)
DON’T MISS AT ANY COST… BANK ON IT Recently I saw a play which forced me to ask: with the amount of stellar entertainment available to us at home, why would anyone spend this much money to trek across town and see this drivel? Whatever “supporting the arts” or “supporting live theater” means shouldn’t feel…
-
Theater Review: WIFE OF A SALESMAN (World Premiere at Writers Theatre in Glencoe)
PAYING ATTENTION TO THE WOMEN Eleanor Burgess’s new play Wife of a Salesman is a riff on Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Burgess (The Niceties) has adapted the Miller original into an intimate revision, placing two women as adversaries in their competition for a man, Willy Loman, the central character of Miller’s 1949 play…

Off-Broadway Review: THE CHINESE LADY (The Public Theater)
DECORATIVE CHINA Immediately upon entering The Shiva Theater within The Public Theater building, the audience for The Chinese Lady is greeted with an onstage shipping container that fills the playing space. It is a bit off-putting but mostly curious. And, as it turns out, a perfect image to start playwright Lloyd Suh’s exploration of the…

Album Recommendation: COYOTE (Joe Purdy)
A PURDY DAMN GOOD THING With the goal of visiting all of our National Parks, I’ve spent much of my life hitting the back roads of America. It’s a stunning feeling spending so much time alone, away from the conveniences of modern life. There is always a bittersweet experience when seeing the awesome vistas of…
-
Theater Review: MARVIN’S ROOM (Actors Co-op)
A ROOM OF THEIR OWN Actors Co-op is reviving Scott McPherson‘s extraordinary play Marvin’s Room. While it has always been one of my favorite plays, it’s a daunting choice for any company. The play requires a delicate touch so the sentiment doesn’t turn into bathos and the black humor stumble into vulgarity. Under Thomas James…

Music Review: ELGAR AND TCHAIKOVSKY (LA Phil; Paolo Bortolameolli, conductor; Camille Thomas, cello)
WAR AND PEACE LA Phil’s Associate Conductor Paolo Bortolameolli made sure that two of the best-known chestnuts in the repertoire were presented by the LA Phil players last weekend in such a way that they sounded completely different than any interpretation one has heard. And given Russia’s hateful invasion of Ukraine last week, Elgar’s Cello…
