Othello features perhaps the most moving song in the Shakespeare canon, Desdemona’s “Willow.” So perhaps it’s no surprise that the tragedy has insp...

Old-Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance)

By Angela Ashman | Wed, May 15, 2013

No one really believed Richard Foreman when he said in 2009 that Idiot Savant would be his last play, did they? The 75-year-old avant-garde auteur is now back at the Public Theater with Old-Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance). As with any... More »
ONCE IN A LIFETIME

By Angela Ashman | Wed, March 27, 2013

If the shoe-obsessed Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos were able to attend David Byrne and Fatboy Slim’s new musical about her life titled Here Lies Love, she’d probably wear fancy high heels for the occasion. But, for the rest of us, comfortable... More »

2012 | Best Playwright

You miss people most when they're gone--no news there. But every once in a while, you get lucky, and, well, they come on back.

Because he'd made them, and often brilliantly, for more than 40 years, it was hard to fault his decision. But he'd written and directed so obsessively through the decades that when he declared "no more," some of us didn't really... More »
2012 | Best Theater Actress

Like we said with actors, in a theater town as big as NYC, there's really no one single best actress. But you know who we've been thinking is pretty damn great these days?
