The Leftovers ended with “The Prodigal Son Returns” last week and after an hour of more despair and some really horrific and devastating scenes, it looks like Kevin and the gang are starting to heal. Kevin even got along with that dog! Matt helped Kevin get rid of Patti’s body. Kevin then thought Matt was […]
A few of the many many many reasons I didn’t like this production: – Geraint Wyn Davies is one of the least vulnerable actors I’ve ever seen. He reminds me so much of Henry Breedlove (his Slings & Arrows character) when all I want is for Macbeth to be played by Oliver Dennis (not literally; […]

Lamb (guitar), and Jacques Pardo (composer and sound designer), set the mood as we prepare to enter Iraq, the real and reimagined space offered by Amir Al-Azraki in Waiting for Gilgamesh: Scenes from Iraq, directed by […]
A woman who is a mother and a cop? Shocking! The Mysteries of Laura would make you think that being a working mother is brilliant new trick, or premise for a television series. This show makes working mothers who are balancing family and career look appalling, and I am a single gay man. There were […]
