“Picasso was a fascinating figure both as an artist and a citizen,” says San Jose Rep’s artistic director, Rick Lombardo. “It’s a delight to see him square off in Hatcher’s play with a representative of the Third Reich… and an art critic to top it off.”
This play is set in Paris...

Much drama in Surrey this morning, Carruthers – the Cathedral is cut off from the outside world due to yesterday’s shooting incident. The word on the ground is it’s not to do with the University (we are of course next door), which is something of a relief in terms of student care issues. But we do...

. . . and it's not just "Who killed Doc Johnson?", the well-liked chiropractor in Riverdale, Minnesota. We will get to that "something" later, but first the novel, "The Whitest Wall." I can say with both urgency and sincerity, this book is a "must read."...

I first decided to attend the British American Drama Academy at Oxford as an excuse to inspect a country that had inscrutably made its way in to my psyche. Post-punk music, Merchant Ivory films and Evelyn Waugh novels had ceased whispering and begun to scream at me. So had Gus Hardy, a still...

Scene: a pub in Deptford, just off the Thames. Four men at a table, drinking heavily, worried.
A silence, just the sounds of swigging ale, an occasional belch and/or other rude sound. Kit Marlowe excitedly slams his mug down.
KIT MARLOWE: I got it! What about a play about a guy, we can make him...

I sometimes talk to myself and have two daughters of my own, so writing about `King Lear' makes me a little nervous. I mean, I don't think of Amy and Anne as Regan and Goneril, in fact I'm fairly sure they are good and loving Cordelias, but you don't want to tempt fate, or whoever that is hovering...

The lesson is simple and terrifying and so big it's like a forest you just can’t see.
It’s the first day of class. Maybe it high school or college. Snow is on the ground or the quad is bathed in spring sunlight and youthful voices intrude into the silence. You look at their faces. The driven...
