		<description><![CDATA[A luscious feast for the soul, “The Big Meal” by Dan Le Franc is a simple but charming, sometimes lighthearted, sometimes serious family drama with four pairs of males and females playing characters as they age through 80 years and four generations. The notion is simple and might be a bit schmaltzy, but under Sam Gold’s crisp direction, it is smart and sensitive.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s the American frontier in the late 1800s. The wood cabin set is probably too burnished to resemble the shabbier wood of the time, but you get the idea. What is surprising is that setting Shakespeare’s play in a time and place when women were extremely independent and self-reliant, director Arin Arbus – a woman – has given it an egregiously sexist staging.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Signature Theater Company revival of Edward Albee’s 1977 play is subtle and biting at the same time, an allegory wrapped in what could have been a dark neighbors sitcom.

The party Sam (a sensitive Michael Hayden) and Jo (a tough and powerful Laila Robins) are hosting in their suburban house for some friends seems pretty deadly. How can they be having a party when Jo, curled up in an easy chair, is dying of a cancer which occasionally sets her to writhing in pain. She sets it out pretty clear, pretty early: “I am your wife and I am dying.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Monica Bauer’s play about jazz and race, presented by Urban Stages, is a finely polished gem. Inspired by the playwright’s youth in Omaha, Nebraska, it is a love song to jazz and its ability to unite people across color lines and also a sorrowful memoir of the time in the sixties when racism erupted into riotous violence. Director Frances Hill uses frequent jazz passages and projections (by Kevin R. Frech) to create mood and reality in an intimate space.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In almost a chamber concert of a play, memory and fantasy intrude in Tina Howe’s drama of a family in which the parents are in decline from their artistically productive years and the daughter is moving up. Her feelings for them are part love and part resentment at what she sees as their self-centered interference with her own artistic development and triumphs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Annabella (Lydia Wilson), a young woman in black leggings, puts on rock music and dances to it. Wilson plays her as she might an insouciant high-fashion model. Men in suits come on the stage prancing, knees jutting up to the disco beat.

This is Parma and a bloody story of incest and revenge will be told, though not exactly as 17th-century author John Ford had in mind. It’s a stunning campy melodrama by Britain’s inimitable Cheek by Jowl company.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For me the most shocking moment in Katori Hall's play, "Hurt Village," was when two grungy teens amuse themselves with a nasty rap in which they cruelly and crudely insult each other and their families. In this down-at-the-heels housing project in Memphis, even these kids' amusement is mean and self-destructive. Forget about normal civility. The people we meet address each other as nigger, bitch, and mother fucker.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been reported today, March 17, that Mike Davey made up many of the details in his monologue about Apple and the workers who make its electronics at the huge Chinese factory, Foxconn, described in the review below. Some of those facts are true about dangerous working conditions are true, but not as he said them. He described meeting workers poisoned with hexane. In fact, such a problem occurred 1,000 miles away. There have been under-age workers at some Apple suppliers, but he didn't meet a gaggle of them at Foxconn. His interpreter was reached by another reporter, Rob Schmitz, China correspondent for the radio show Marketplace," and she denied that Davey met 13-year-old workers or a man with a mangled hand. Davey's response was that he is not a journalist.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[March 12, 2012 - Mary O'Grady today used a killing in Haiti linked to bribery of former Haiti Teleco officials to attack the Democrats. She said investigators might "uncover the details of the arrangement that Fusion Telecommunications—run by former Democratic Party Finance Chairman Marvin Rosen with Joseph P. Kennedy II" and numerous influential Democrats had in Haiti during the Clinton years.  She didn't mention that there is much more evidence of Teleco bribery by IDT, then run by former Republican Congressman James Courter with a host of high-level GOP bigwigs. ]]></description>
