Doors, Apparatus Theatre Group

A mixture of text, dance, and visual drama.

The Pride of Parnell Street, Sebastian Barry

Produced by Fishamble, an Irish company, this play deftly draws the limits circumscribing the urban underclass.

Highly recommend.

Provenance, Maya Beiser

An intriguing (somewhat tedious) cello performance, backed up by percussion, oud, and live electronics.

Recommend with caveats.

Rosanne Cash and Mark O'Connor

A perfectly delightful evening of music. Excellent performances with little ego.

Highly recommend.

Glow, Chunky Move

A mesmerizing, horizontal solo dance performance.

The Burial at Thebes, Sophocles with Seamus Heaney translation

The Nottingham Playhouse Theatre's production is one of the finest I've seen of a Greek tragedy. It bears repeat viewings.

Highly recommend.

Sirens

Spinning speakers and blinking lights. Sounds ludicrous. No. Fascinating.

Highly recommend.

Orfeo, Monteverdi

Lovely, lovely production of the first opera. The performances were great, and the venue was absolutely charming.

Highly recommend.

The Singing Revolution, James and Maureen Tusty

Very engaging documentary on the Estonian Revolution.

Recommend.

King Lear, Shakespeare

Nothing beats seeing Shakespeare at the Globe!

Highly recommend.
