BWW Feature: INSIDE THE GPO at Solas Nua

DC is a city steeped in national myth, so perhaps it is most fitting that now, in the midst of our own battle for self-determination and statehood, Solas Nua brings us Fishamble’s production of 'Inside the GPO', an intimate look at Ireland’s 1916 Easter Rising...but as with every myth, one must peel back the layers to really get to the good stuff

BWW Review: In UNDERNEATH, Pat Kinevane Will Inspire You to Just Go Out and LIVE Your Life Without Fear

During the West Coast premiere of UNDERNEATH by Olivier Award winner Pat Kinevane, be prepared to be called upon and repeatedly referred to during the show if you challenge the audience's attention by unwrapping candy during his performance, drop something on the floor, or just happen to be seated in the front row. That's because Kinevane wants you to pay attention to the play's theme, that "you can never know what might be around the next corner so go out and LIVE your life," he begs of us. With his otherworldly appearance, completely covered in black clothing and face paint highlighted with gold, there is no way you won't pay attention to his mesmerizing performance on a darkened set highlighted with pieces of gold lame which he often uses to reflect light onto the audience.
