Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Purpose Is Messy, Sharp, and Painfully Human

When you start getting the hang of this play-seeing/reviewing thing, you begin to grasp the styles of different playwrights. Out of the many playwrights whose work I have seen, I think Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is probably the one I’ve experienced the most. He and William Shakespeare lol. So walking into La Jolla Playhouse’s West Coast premiere of the Tony Award-winning play Purpose, I already knew I was about to get layers, discomfort, and sharp humor.

British Chaos Takes Center Stage in The Play That Goes Wrong

The Play That Goes Wrong is exactly what the title promises: chaos, confusion, missed cues, collapsing sets, and absolute theatrical mayhem.

A Fierce and Tender Family Reckoning in The Velocity of Autumn

There comes an age when, instead of thinking about your grandparents or parents, you think about yourself. And that is what happened to me seeing Onstage’s latest production, The Velocity of Autumn by Eric Coble. Set in an apartment in Brooklyn, Alexandra (Linda Benning) is an artist in her 80s and the mother of three. She has barricaded herself in the apartment because her two older children consider it better to put her in assisted living. The youngest son, Chris (James P. Darvas), who has been estranged for two decades, returns at the petition of his siblings and to buffer the situation.

El Diablo Viste a la Moda 2

Normalmente, cuando un libro inspira un formato cinematográfico, este no supera lo escrito. En el caso de Prada, es lo contrario. (Con el libro de Wicked, parecido, pero ese es tema para otra entrada). Y es que la guionista Aline Brosh McKenna le dio una buena sarandeada al libro de Weisberger, resultando en una película muy pop, pero también con mensaje. No solamente con respecto a la moda, al consumismo, a la fijación por el cuerpo esbelto de la mujer, etc. Hay mensajes sobre la relación de pareja, el equilibrio entre la vida y el trabajo, las luchas de poder y la traición en el mundo corporativo.

Teatro Alebrijes is Back in Los Angeles with “Carlota: Alhajero de Secretos”

The Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca was a trailblazer with his surrealist style while uplifting his homeland, Granada, and the southern Spanish Autonomous Community of Andalucía. It was interesting to see Lorca’s reimagined The House of Bernarda Alba through Carlota: Alhajero de Secretos, written by Rodrigo García and Ugho Badú.
