A brutal account of the effect of the Iraq war and past wars on soldiers and military families. What is the legacy of war on the home front? How do we best serve our country?'Does anyone remember David Rabe’s STICKS AND BONES? ... The play was a hard-hitting commentary on the then-raging Vietnam War ... Before anybody mounts a revival that would comment on our own times of war and the serious injuries that present-day soldiers sustain, they should take a look at Lydia Stryk’s powerful new drama AMERICAN TET ... In these times, we need a hard-hitting play like this one ... It’s the finest drama I’ve seen in months.' -Peter Filichia, TheatreMania.com'AMERICAN TET ... treats the Iraq war much as MACBIRD, OH, WHAT A LOVELY WAR and Platoon did Vietnam. It’s as subtle as napalm.' -Michael Kilian, Chicago Tribune'Stryk’s AMERICAN TET is as raw and discomforting as a frequently chafed sore ... and brings reality to a career military family grappling with the special self-sacrifices, denial, acceptance and questioning that goes with serving in our country’s armed forces during an unpopular war.' -Pittsburgh Tribune-Review'Juxtaposing one American generation’s experience in Vietnam with today’s involvement in Iraq makes an emotionally affecting statement about the impact of public policy on private lives. Lydia Stryk raises issues without pretending that there are simple answers.' -Brad Hathaway, Potomac Stages

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
