Review: Julius Caesar at Baltimore Shakespeare Factory

Reviews July 30, 2016 Paul Davis

Let me tell you a story. You’ll have to listen well since the cicadas and crickets have devious plots. Plots as thick and syrupy as Cassius’ (Utkarsh Rajawat) to slide vengeance into the noble heart of Brutus (Shannon Ziegler) under the guise of freedom. Baltimore Shakespeare Factory’s production of Julius Caesar is like a story told with a group of friends and family: a campfire tale told in a semi-circle of Tikki torches in the swirling beauty on the ground of the Evergreen Museum and Library.

Review: Born Yesterday at Vagabond Players

Reviews June 7, 2015 Amanda N. Gunther

Money talks. And in a city of few secrets and much chat it’s easy to see that Washington DC hasn’t changed in 70 years.

Directed by Steve Goldklang, the biting wit of Rebeck’s esoteric literary comedy lands with grand aplomb just in time to shake up the scene for the holiday season. Not your typical Santaland story or in any way,
