    Gut Renos of Ionesco and Chekhov (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Igor Golyak’s “Delirium,” a madcap, sneakily emotional reinvention of the 1962 Eugène Ionesco play “Frenzy for Two, or More,” opens with an alarming tableau: a dust-coated man is lying face down, crushed by a heavy door that covers his back like a turtle’s shell. He wears an infantry helmet but also a fancy suit with a cummerbund, and after wriggling out from under the door he props it up so that it faces him, knocks on it in a panic, and finally “breaks in” to the room he’s created. Then, makin

    Seeing It All Hang Out at the Fringe (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The strangest, most beautiful thing I saw at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe felt less like theatre than like mass hypnosis.

But, though the atmosphere felt dystopian, the crowd was buoyant, and also unusually young for a New York theatre audience—elder Gen Z-ers with funky hair, baggy pants, and puppyish energy. They were indistinguishable from the show’s two stars, who sat quiet

    “Birthright” and “Giant” Tackle Jewish Identity (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Oakland-based playwright Jonathan Spector wrote “Birthright”—his warm, haimish, ultimately frustrating new drama—on a dare. Weeks after October 7, 2023, Spector was “cajoled” by a peer to dig into the generational fracture among American Jews, a split that deepened precipitously after the catastrophes in Israel and Gaza. At first, Spector said no. Who could blame him? The risks included glibness and finger-wagging, not to mention the danger suggested by the metal detectors outsid
