  • Dropped <i>Call</i>

    Dropped Call

    Adoption, a touchy subject in all instances, is the ostensible topic of The Call (Playwrights Horizons), a small, tautly written, tidy—perhaps over-tidy–new play by the gifted Tanya Barfield. And like some adopted children, The Call turns out to... More »

    Some theater directors make their name through flash, drawing attention to themselves in obvious ways in their productions. But our favorite helmer these days has just the opposite style. His productions tend to be quiet. They have a calmness and focus. They rarely blare, and if they do, it's for a specific moment.
