Thoroughbreds explores the conflict between personal passion and societal expectations, as a character’s love for horse racing clashes with the moral opposition of another. This central tension drives the narrative, illustrating how deeply ingrained values and personal convictions can come into conflict with the opinions of others. The story delves into the complexities of family loyalty, as differing opinions on racing cause strain within a household, particularly between spouses. The novel also critiques the corruption and greed that can infiltrate even the noblest pursuits, like horse racing, showing how ambition and personal gain can cloud judgment and integrity. One character’s struggle with personal integrity is examined, as they face moral dilemmas that test their values. The growing sense of betrayal that permeates the story further complicates relationships, challenging individuals to navigate loyalty and trust in a world that prizes success over virtue. Ultimately, the novel underscores how societal pressures, personal passion, and moral conviction intertwine to shape the decisions individuals make.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

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 ...
