  “Let fly with the virtual confetti, please. RAW BACON FROM POLAND, the poignant new drama…    The writer…is Christina Masciotti, a downtown dramatist of rigorous personal style whose following includes a lot of theatergoers who consider Broadway a wasteland…    …Ms Masciotti’s distinctively awkward dialogue has never sounded more organic, or more revelatory of character.    Ms Masciotti (VISION DISTURBANCE, SOCIAL SECURITY) has an ear for the quirks and imperfections of everyday speech. This means that her characters often talk in winding syntax replete with malapropisms that would dismay Strunk and White…    RAW BACON charts the steps in Dennis’s coming to terms with his wartime experiences. It is, in some ways, a conventional `recovery’ narrative of the sort found in many an inspirational memoir and movie. But Ms Masciotti’s brand of sentimentality has a rough honesty that often transforms the formulaic…    …But like many experimental playwrights of her generation (including her mentor, the downtown giant Richard Maxwell), Ms Masciotti deliberately embraces clichés, and finds exotic and individual truths in their use and distortion…    Ms Masciotti’s script allows for aria-like moments from each member of the cast…    But it is the language of combustible Dennis that truly lights up the ashen world in which the play is set…” Ben Branley, The New York Times

  • 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 ...

  • Social Security
    Christina Masciotti
       “…This dramatist’s implicit thesis is that if you listen closely enough, there’s significant artistry in insignificant talk.    As in her earlier plays, VISION DISTURBANCE and ADULT, Ms Masciotti mines the banalaties of everyday chatter for heroic poetry. Set largely in working-class Pennsylvania, in towns forgotten by time, her uneventful dramas seem to be composed of what ...
