Five Star Production in the Hood
Perhaps the best show I have reviewed this whole season, Flame in the Mirror, opened this weekend, at Eclectic Theatre Company in the Pike/Pine corridor, written by a Capitol Hill homeboy, playwright, John Ruoff.
How Irish is my Father.
The Walworth Farce, by contemporary Irish playwright Enda Walsh, produced by New Century Theatre Company, opened at New City Theatre and was directed by the former’s artistic director, John Kazanjian. Like many Irish plays, it deals with fractured family relationships, exile from the old country, poverty, greed, violence and alcoholism, all played out in one bed-sit ( more or less a studio apartment) in the South London immigrant neighborhood of Elephant and Castle.
