Baby Talk
Laughter outshines tears in the New Haven Theater Company’s production of Cry It Out, at least for anyone who has ever given birth to or cared for a baby. (more…)
Troubled Water
The venue for Long Wharf Theatre’s production of A View From The Bridge is actually viewable from two bridges. Staging at the Canal Dock Boathouse, the backdrop for the play by Arthur Miller is a view across New Haven Harbor, cast here as the workplace of an Italian American community of longshoremen in 1950s Brooklyn.

Speak No Evil
You may already know Macbeth—three witches, a ruthless would-be king, a scheming Lady and murder—but chances are you’ve never seen it performed without a spoken word.

Flight Paths
The final production at Long Wharf Theatre’s longtime home was a play called Flying Bird’s Diary, read last weekend by a cast of 10 behind a tidy arc of music stands.
