Theater Review: Rajiv Joseph’s ‘Dakar 2000,’ Vermont Stage | Seven Days (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rajiv Joseph’s 2025 play Dakar 2000 uses the outer form of a thriller to explore deception itself. The Vermont Stage production nails the tension in Joseph’s tangle of motives and meaning, but a play designed to make viewers doubt what they see runs a risk. The audience may stay wary when characters routinely trade engrossing personal stories only to end with a laugh at the listener’s gullibility — tricked you. This play demands we administer the same test of trust that the characters do. At the
Theater Review: ‘Lobby Hero,’ Dorset Theatre Festival | Seven Days (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kenneth Lonergan fills his plays with the exquisite flaws of his characters. He wraps the viewer in dialogue so realistic that the events and people are simply true, full stop. Four characters intersect in Lobby Hero, all with choices to make about power and weakness, knowledge and deception. There’s a murder, some romance and a great deal of comedy to be mined.

Read excerpt
Jonathan Larson’s landmark 1996 musical Rent premiered 100 years after the opera that inspired it and one day after the composer’s sudden death of aortic dissection at age 35. Larson wrote about the world he lived in — 1990s New York City, when AIDS had no cure and poverty was rising. The story parallels Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème, switching Paris to Alphabet City and a sentimental approach to death from tuberculosis to a fatalistic acceptance of living as HIV-positive. Larson’s only big change
Theater Review: ‘The Understudy,’ Dorset Theatre Festival | Seven Days (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before the house lights go down at the Dorset Theatre Festival production of The Understudy, the set itself has a chance to destabilize the audience. On the large stage, vertiginously tilting walls are topped by a slanting beam. Perspective is undermined even before a balding, gray-haired man darts onstage with a gun, making his own shooting sound effects. His first words — delivered straight to viewers by an actor playing an actor in an empty Broadway theater — are the beginning of a puzzle. “O
