Dropped Call

By Michael Feingold | Wed, April 17, 2013

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 »
