BLKS

"Unvarnished and totally uninhibited, this New York debut at MCC is hilarious in the most uncomfortable ways…. [Aziza] Barnes's lack of fear as a writer is what makes BLKS a particularly joyous experience." Read Zachary Stewart's full review here.

Original Sound

"Original Sound raises the uncomfortable truth that all culture is appropriated from somewhere else before being remixed and rebranded into something 'original.'" Read Zachary Stewart's full review here.

Sean O'Casey's Dublin trilogy, now playing in repertory at Irish Repertory Theatre, which includes:

The Shadow of a Gunman

"Under the confident direction of Ciarán O'Reilly, this faithful staging of O'Casey's first masterpiece is as excellent a production of the play as you're ever likely to see." Read Pete Hempstead's full review here.

Juno and the Paycock

"Performed by a dynamic cast led by Ciarán O'Reilly and Maryann Plunkett, [director Neil] Pepe's take feels fresh and relevant while remaining faithful to O'Casey's nearly 100-year-old play." Read Pete Hempstead's full review here.

The Plough and the Stars

"One of the theater's foremost antiwar playwrights, [Sean] O'Casey is unsparing in his depiction of violence in The Plough and the Stars, and Irish Repertory Theatre has produced [O'Casey's Dublin] trilogy in three equally unsparing and masterfully executed productions that convey the horror of armed conflict and the animalistic human folly that precipitates it."
