âThese works are still quite raw for me. I havenât really talked about this beforeâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2022, remarkable images began to emerge from the small Tuscan commune of San Casciano dei Bagni, human figures in bronze rising from the mud, scarcely tarnished after 2,300 years underground. Margaret Corcoran remembers seeing some of the photographs and immediately feeling that the figures would somehow enter her work. The artist went to her studio and began to sketch them. Itâs a familiar process for Corcoran, whose practice often begins with reading the news in the morning and carrying t
Sarah Kaneâs 4.48 Psychosis: âItâs not for everyone. But I feel very alive when I watch itâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs the final play Sarah Kane wrote before she killed herself at the age of 28. A crafted work of art and a philosophical inquiry into suicide, 4.48 Psychosis is like a bolt of lightning in its purity and intensity. At the same time, itâs hard to get away from the idea itâs a suicide note. Thatâs not the only reason itâs so challenging to put on. It has no named characters and no stage directions. Instead, Kane, who died in 1999, gives us a fragmented text out of which different voice
Hysterically Shopping! To Some Sort of End review: This critique of consumer culture is a tough one to sell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs a little depressing to see so much money apparently lavished on something that seems so conceptually underwhelming. During the 80 minutes of this pop opera I find myself imagining better shows encoded in its symbols and gestures, or tapped out in Morse, searching for meaning in it all. Surely this canât just be a bafflingly straightforward and dated critique of consumer culture. Maybe Iâm getting it wrong. Maybe itâs actually a masterpiece for the age of brain rot, a depiction of th
âLourdes is like a holy Blackpool or divine Las Vegas. Weâre not in angelic landâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lourdes is a new musical about pilgrimage, the need for miracles, and what we do in the face of imminent mortality, whether our own or that of someone we love. For its writer, Xnthony, the question was how to look honestly at death without becoming solemn. His answer came partly from Lourdes itself, a place he has visited three times. Growing up in rural Ireland, Catholicism was ambient. âYou canât help but feel itâs in your DNA,â he says. His first two trips were as a teenager, when pil
A Moon for the Misbegotten: âWhen people are ready for this play, it is a balm on themâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eugene OâNeillâs A Moon for the Misbegotten is a beautiful, sad, humane play about broken people and the possibility of redemption. Itâs also dated and demanding: its pace is slow, and its intimate study of drunkenness and self-loathing can feel recursive, claustrophobic. One OâNeill scholar, Travis Bogard, pretty much summed up the tone of critical consensus when he declared the play âdoomed to failure without superb actingâ. Lorcan Cranitch and Eileen Walsh, who play the main roles
