An emigration interview grows darkly menacing as it turns into an interrogation by government bureaucrats.'Throughout history words have been man’s most eloquent and efficient tool of progress. Words have transported the knowledge that has set men free; they have framed concepts of liberty and propelled righteous revolutions. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but, like a blade, it cuts both ways. Tyrants, too, have used words to perfume their evil intentions. Recall Adolph Hitler’s fiery speeches that held Germany enraptured and led the world toward horror and destruction. In a dramatic demonstration of this power, INTERVIEW/ENTREVISTA illuminates oppression with the same weapons used by the play’s government-sanctioned thugs - words. ’They use language as a form of torture,’ says Jonathan Moscone, who directs the play for the Dallas Theater Center’s Big D Festival of the Unexpected, ’There’s no physical violence, no guns in this play, but ultimately there’s a real brutality. Playwright Gil Kofman uses the language itself to create a visceral experience. The action of the play moves as quickly and intricately as the mind does.’' -Joy Dickinson, Dallas Morning News'Gil Kofman’s INTERVIEW/ENTREVISTA examines a grueling and mischievous interrogation of a Latina, who’s seeking her emigré brother, by two bureaucrats from some unnamed government agency.' -Steven Mikulan, L A Weekly

  • 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...

    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 ...
