BWW Review: VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at Castle Craig Players
On Friday, May 13th, I saw a play I was previously not familiar with. VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE was performed by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. This is a modern (about ten years ago) play written by controversial playwright Christopher Durang. The genres encompassed include dark drama, dark comedy, and even a political rant. The audience reactions throughout the show suggest that they truly enjoyed the show. While the show certainly has comedic elements, I feel that this show can be best appreciated if audience members come to the show expecting to see what is more of a very dark and twisted drama than a comedy, as I feel that drama is the more dominant genre in this show.

Little Theatre of Manchester began its 2017 SEASON with a heartwarming comedy about friendship and loyalty. This REVEALING COMEDY, inspired by the Hollywood hit movie, entertained a sold-out audience on Friday night as laughter filled the room. The audience would intently quiet one minute during the more sentimental moments and then at other times there would be an eruption of laughter. Scroll down for a first look at the cast in action!
