BWW Review: Portland Stage Serves Up a Delightful Vintage Cocktail with a Twist
With its winter production of Joseph Kesselring's classic comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace, Portland Stage's serves up a delightful vintage cocktail - complete with more than one amusing twist. The 1947 play, people with a cast of loveable, zany misfits who cheerfully engage in murder and mayhem retains its appeal seven decades later in this stylishly directed and colorfully acted production.

Winner of the 2006 National New Play Network Commission Award, RISING WATER takes us to New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, and into the attic of Camille and Sugar as rushing water fills their pitch-dark house. Trapped amidst a lifetime of possessions and memories, they wait for rescue as a flood of secrets, joys and fears reveal the turbulent ebb and flow of their own relationship.
