Like A Generation is Coyote Collective’s re-mount of an earlier production from 2013 with an updated multi-media set and lighting design. Written by Max Tepper, and directed by Blue Bigwood-Mallen, the show is a show “about television (or I suppose streaming since no one actually watches TVanymore,” Bigwood-Mallen writes in the show programme. And indeed […]
The powers that be at FX really do have exceptional taste. Their lineup is diverse but cohesive with very few duds. Irreverent rom-com You’re the Worst might be their best underrated gem. From the genius mind of Stephen Falk (Weeds, OITNB), You’re the Worst is essentially a love story between two terrible people with […]
Despite the vast number of diverse theatre productions in New York City, there is a noticeable lack of plays that depict the lives of Americans living in the middle of the country. Susan Merson’s new musical play Between Pretty Places does just that in a surprisingly genuine way while also exploring themes of grief and […]

Dreary Hamlet, overly traditional Shrew and uneven Love’s Labours are all playing on that famous festival stage […]
Of the many “just do the play” attempts at Shakespeare this season on the Stratford mainstage, director John Caird comes closest to presenting an incarnation of true interest.
