A good revival of Sarah Ruhl's Victorian-era satire of gender attitudes Over the following Room, Or the Vibrator Play is that this week's Pick, as reviewed by Deborah Klugman. Presented by The Production Company, it plays on the Secret Rose
Theatre in North Hollywood. Another solid revival, of John Logan's Red, a bio-drama about Mark Rothko, at Long Beach's International City Theatre, got appreciative words from Neal Weaver. Nods also for Short Lodge at Carranor with regards to a septuagenarian romance that "trades the saccharine for that bittersweet" at Theatre West, and also for the kiddie-friendly puppet show It's a Musical World on the Bob Baker Marionette Theatre near downtown. See below for all the latest new theater reviews and for region-wide listings.
Feminism discourse is back on stage - perhaps not seen with this particular much nuance since Caryl Churchill's Top Girls and Wendy Wasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles in the 1980s. The play is Gina Gionfriddo's Rapture, Blister, Burn in the Playwrights Horizon's productions currently at the Geffen Playhouse. It's also the topic of this week's theater feature.
