Cold fusion, long a dream of nuclear scientists, able to generate enough electricity to power entire cities from water, has at last been achieved. Or so the two scientists in RESTORING THE SUN claim. Loosely based on true events. 'In RESTORING THE SUN two scientists claim they have achieved cold nuclear fusion, a process when commercially developed would turn water into energy so efficiently that a small lake could supply the energy need of the United States for a year. If that sounds too good to be true, perhaps it's because the idea triggers a memory. You may recall hearing similar assertions sixteen years ago when two scientists at the University of Utah also said they'd found a way to fuse atoms to produce energy. Their work was eventually discredited when other scientists could not duplicate the results. The similarity between the plays and the historical incident is not coincidental. Playwright Joe Sutton has taken it as the model for RESTORING THE SUN. But his play is by no means a theatrical documentary. Sutton has created an engrossing, fast-moving drama ... one of the reasons RESTORING THE SUN is so engaging is that all the characters are for the most part, well-meaning decent people who want to do the right thing.' -Douglas J Keating, Philly Inquirer 'Playwright Joe Sutton has shown us how sexy science can be ... This story is full of complex relationships and motives.' -Kerry Clawson, Beacon Journal (Akron)

       “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 ...
