Theater Review: Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope
Instead of showering each other with yearly praise and admiration, Hollywood might have taken some lessons from the stouthearted York Theatre’s recent staging of Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope. The 1972 musical revival kicked off their Winter 2016 “Musicals in Mufti” series. Mufti, as noted on the program, is done “in street clothes; without the trappings of a full production”. Each of the cast members carries the complete script and score and they have a limited number of hours to rehearse before a live audience attends. They clearly put the time to good use and gave fresh voice to this rarely performed gem of a show. Even more impressive is that these dedicated artists rarely consulted their scripts throughout the night. [Read more…] about Theater Review: Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope

Theater Review: Eugene O’Neill’s “Hughie”
Most of us have an Erie Smith in our lives; the kind of friendly, but terribly needy soul who chatters incessantly at us rather than with us. We listen more out of kindness than interest- or maybe we halfheartedly tune in because we too, desire human connection and a reprieve from the monotony of life.
Smith is the roving vagabond portrayed by Forest Whitaker in Eugene O’Neill’s brief, but sad revival of Hughie. Erie, whose name derived from his native town in Pennsylvania, has just returned from a five day drunk binge and is greeted by the new night clerk (Frank Wood) in a dilapidated 1928 New York City Hotel. Christopher Oram’s hauntingly beautiful set is as cavernous and hollow as Smith himself. [Read more…] about Theater Review: Eugene O’Neill’s “Hughie”
