A typical pitfall of talking plays is that the modern audience may struggle to focus if there is no action to go along with the talking, but a smart production can find ways to keep an audience engaged. And CTAW’s production of The Gin Game was very smart indeed. The moments of levity between the tension more than makes up for the lack of spectacle of modern-day theater.

I rarely use the word brilliant to describe the work I've seen. There are so many good actors, directors and writers in this town that one must be careful not to be too generous and overuse one's praise. Unlike one reviewer who calls everything he sees the best and gives an award of merit to all of them, I choose to be more selective. This is my very first time at Neo Ensemble Theatre under the new artistic direction of Paul Elliott, and I am exceedingly impressed with the acting, direction and particularly the writing. Airport Encounters, onstage at the Lounge on Santa Monica Blvd through October 16 only, is a collection of 10 vignettes that all take place in a big city airport.
