REVIEW: Comedy-horror hybrid Dead Broke successfully spooks

While the non-horror aspects of the show lean towards the more amateur, the scares are incredibly successful. This show pulls off the theatrical horror with seeming ease: That’s reason enough to check it out for yourself.

REVIEW: What the Constitution Means to Me froths with urgency

Despite the surprisingly intimate nature of the material, I found myself more impressed than moved by this show. It’s one of those pieces that slowly reveals itself as theatrical premises strip away, and perhaps it’s the extra layers of distance and biography that for me kept the material at an emotional distance.

REVIEW: In Playing Shylock, Saul Rubinek asks: ‘Am I Jewish enough yet?’

Theatre is consistently poised on a precipice where we worry that things will shut down because people care too little, or things will shut down because people care too much. In the nexus between those two states sits Saul Rubinek, espousing the fervent hope that theatre will, instead, teach us to care for each other.
