by Jeffrey Ellis
- Mar 11, 2024
In the aftermath of experiencing the Nashville premiere of Jagged Little Pill — the musical inspired by and featuring music from Alanis Morissette’s 1995 album of the same name, other songs written by her and including two created expressly for the production, and featuring a compelling, biting and challenging book by Diablo Cody — one cannot help but lament the show’s abbreviated three-performance run at TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall.

Review: MARAT/SADE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw
by Natalia Jarczynska
- Dec 12, 2022

Marcin Liber interpreted the play that interprets the French Revolution but it's also about the revolution itself.
