In OMG, Shakespeare, WTH? Stephen Cramer imagines the characters from the Bard’s plays being transported to the 21st century when they have access to cell phones in addition to their traditional rapiers. He envisions, for example, Romeo texting Juliet (his #breastiebestie) just after he’s killed her cousin, Tybalt, with all the discomfort that that conversation would have entailed. But hey, Tybalt had just killed Mercutio (his #testebestie). Shakespeare’s contemporary Ben Jonson wrote that the Bard was not of an age, 'but for all time.' Four hundred years later, these characters texting each other-their words replete with contemporary abbreviations and emojis-proves just that.

  • 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...

       “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 ...

  • Shakespeare Redacted
    Stephen Cramer
    For Stephen Cramer, the possibility of collaborating with the greatest author of all time was too great an opportunity to pass up. In these blackout poems, Cramer used the first and last pages of each of Shakespeare’s plays and crossed out letters and words to come up with his own 'poems.' The process is not unlike that of a sculptor who, like Michelangelo shaping David, takes ...
