The Heart Is Just Another Tool To Exploit In Dramaworks’ Les Liaisons Dangereuses

Palm Beach Dramaworks’ solidly executed and lushly produced edition comes very close to achieving that level, but it falls just a shade short of communicating the venality of curdled souls.
Parade Productions’ Undo Charts Divorce By Replaying Wedding In Reverse
Undo’s premise – a Jewish divorce ceremony that rewinds a couple’s wedding day — sounds so much like a sitcom episode that you keep expecting it to slide into shallow farce. But it doesn’t.

DreamCatcher’s Uneven Into The Woods Thrills And Disappoints
