    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)

    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

    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 »

    Detroit ’67: Get Ready

  • 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. A few years ago, this New York playwright--who has rightly been called a genius--said he was pretty much finished with plays. 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? Well, the Voice gave her an Obie Award last year for her ensemble work in an Off-Broadway show, and she was just as good in a revival of a difficult Edward Albee play. There's something a little frightening about her, something in her strong presence and sculpted looks, something a shade unnatural about her onstage. But... More »
