Gwen & Ida at Nu Sass and Uncle Funsy Productions

Reviews June 15, 2019 Amanda N. Gunther

If you won’t tell your story, then who will? More
importantly, will they tell it correctly? Or will they romanticize it through
the lens of B-grade Hollywood celluloid and be creative with your very
existence? Such might have been the ill-fated path of infamy for Gwen John if
Ida Lupino had had her way when it came to telling her story on the big screen.

The Incest Rep: Tis Pity She’s a Whore at Brave Spirits Theatre

Reviews April 6, 2017 Joshua Engel

Let’s face it: Parma is a nasty, nasty place. It’s got people cheating on their spouses, and plots of revenge, even before it gets all incesty. Which, of course, it does, this being part of Brave Spirits’ Incest Rep, along with A King and No King, by Beaumont and Fletcher.

Review: The Pillow Book at Cohesion & The Strand Theatre Companies

Reviews June 26, 2015 Amanda N. Gunther

Everyone should be needed by someone and need someone; be loved by someone and love someone. We all need someone to touch our bones when we are dead. The elusively fantastical play, The Pillow Book, which has only been produced once before in New York, makes its regional premier as a co-production with Cohesion Theatre Company and Strand Theatre Company here in Baltimore.
