REVIEW: Guillermo Verdecchia’s Feast is a fascinating text, but Tarragon’s new production feels hazy

I found the play really resonant and rich and layered. It’s about globalization, privilege, travel, displacement, and inequity, and it brought up many associations and past experiences for me. But I don’t feel that Soheil Parsa’s production fully comes together.

REVIEW: Tarragon’s The Wolf in the Voice abounds in care, howling, and Throat Coat

The Wolf in the Voice is an energetic yet intimate peek into the lives of singers and the instrument that exists within us all.

REVIEW: Tarragon’s Craze lacks focus — that’s what makes it fun

A frenzied test of endurance, Craze whips along like a social media feed on steroids, sprinting from image to image with wild, masculine bravado.

REVIEW: Goblin:Macbeth might just leave you gobsmacked 

While most of the entertainment comes from the goblins’ antics whenever the Shakespearean text is paused or subverted for comic effect, the secret sauce to this whole endeavour is that it really is an honest-to-goodness staging of that text, designed to showcase the performers’ near-virtuosic mastery of the material.
