The Spider And The Fly or, An Undesired Love explores the complexities of freedom and captivity, both physical and emotional, as experienced by convicts striving to escape their pasts. The characters grapple with the burden of their criminal actions and the desperate need for redemption, driven by the hope of reclaiming their lives. The pursuit of freedom becomes not only a battle against external forces like the prison and its warders, but also an internal struggle, where the convicts wrestle with guilt, desires, and the weight of their choices. The prison symbolizes the societal constraints placed on them, forcing characters to confront their inner turmoil while yearning for a chance at a different life. Love, particularly unrequited affection, plays a significant role in the convicts’ emotional journeys. Longing for a life they cannot attain, the convicts find themselves torn between their desires and their moral dilemmas. This emotional conflict adds depth to their struggles, illustrating how their pasts and the relationships they desire complicate their search for personal freedom, leading to profound emotional challenges and self-discovery.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

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...

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 ...
