Review: Bearing Witness: SOMEONE WILL REMEMBER US at Trinity Rep
by John McDaid - Jan 31, 2025
Bearing Witness: SOMEONE WILL REMEMBER US at Trinity Rep. A searing, deeply human world premiere that gives voice to veterans, civilians, and refugees. We go to the theatre for many reasons. Sometimes, we crave the spectacle of a Broadway musical; sometimes, we seek the grip of a powerful drama.

Trinity REP Scores a Hole-in-One with August Wilson's RADIO GOLF
by Larry O'Brien - Feb 6, 2020
Some shows seek to entertain; think the first act of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Some seek to inform; think the second act of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. What director Jude Sandy has come up with in this amazing production of August Wilson's RADIO GOLF is a play that is both wildly entertaining and yet manages to grapple with the most serious conflicts of our time. RADIO GOLF is both powerful and hilarious, often at the same time. It's running time is over two hours and forty-five minutes, but, trust me, you'll never glance at your watch.
