BWW Review: SPUNK at Signature Theatre - It's a Delight

George C. Wolfe's SPUNK was first staged at New York's Public Theater in 1990. It is based on Zora Neale Hurston's 1937 novel 'Their Eyes Were Watching God'.

BWW Review: Signature Theatre's SPUNK Lacks, Well… Spunk

I've never been disappointed by a show at Signature Theatre. Even their ongoing Grand Hotel, which is working with some less-than-stellar source material, is elevated by the wonderful craftsmanship and talented artists this theater welcomes. The same can unfortunately not be said of the disappointing Spunk, which opened in Signature's more intimate ARK theater on Friday. Zora Neale Hurston's masterful prose falls flat in a production that feels like it opened too soon, resulting in an evening lacking in the gumption this show tries to champion.

GRAND HOTEL, PASSION & More Will Be Featured in Signature Theatre's 2018-19 Season!

Artistic Director Eric Schaeffer and Managing Director Maggie Boland announce the full lineup for Signature Theatre's 2018/19 season.

Cincinnati Playhouse to Present LOW DOWN DIRTY BLUES

"The setting is a nameless South Side Chicago blues club," said Myler, who'll direct the production for the Playhouse. "It's Saturday night, into Sunday morning. The linking dialogue is from actual blues artists that we interviewed, but it's the music that drives the piece."

BWW Review: Constantly Under Siege, Hurston's Heroines Retain Their Admirable SPUNK

Prefacing his 1990 playscript for SPUNK, a musical amalgam of three saucy Zora Neale Hurston short stories, George C. Wolfe warned that there was a thin line between Zora and the minstrelsy of Amos and Andy. On Q Performing Arts director Jermaine Nakia Lee fearlessly tramples on that line, giving us the opportunity to appreciate and critically examine Hurston's understated feminism in a richly ambivalent production.
