The Diana Tapes is about the disclosure of Princess Diana’s recorded confessions of her personal experience as a member of the HRH to journalist Andrew Morton. Morton’s book, “Diana: Her True Story – In Her Own Words,” which came out in 1992 and caused a rift between Diana and the Royals, has just had its […]
Will Eno has been described as a ‘modern Samuel Beckett,’ and after seeing Nightfall Theatrics’ production of Title and Deed currently onstage at the Tarragon Workspace, I can see why. This is a story about nothing and everything at the same time. It is the existential journey of a man who finds himself out of […]
Spoiler-free Review Annie Baker is one of America’s greatest living playwrights, a master of naturalistic contemporary storytelling rife with mysterious spirituality and painfully honest but sugarless emotion.
