BWW Reviews: World Premiere THE RED ROOM Fires Up NoHo Arts Stage
Christopher Knopf's world premiere The Red Room , clearly reminiscent of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, has modern day repercussions in spite of its period time and place. Although appearing affluent on the surface, all members of this family dynasty are suffering. A failing business; for some, no job or money and hasty, psychological escapism. Though not a salesman, Edwin's (Brad Blaisdell) failures are compared to those of Willy Loman, more than once, and the entire structure/content of the play echo the tragic themes of Salesman with its domineering father, loyal-to-a-fault mother and struggling-to-be accepted sons. One might also recall O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night where parental weaknesses segue directly to the next generation like the plague. This is a very heavy-handed dramatic work containing gripping dialogue and incisive confrontations that require an outstanding director and cast to put them over with any degree of success. Fortunately, the NoHo Ace Ensemble is attuned to these challenges.

Bush Bashing has Musical Style
Never has a political mockery been more in need than in these turbulent, and let's face it, horrendously tragic times. And when the Commander-in-Chief is a 'smirking chimp' with a weaker grasp of the English language than a fifth grader, there is no better way to stick it to the man than with a sharp-witted musical. Strike up the spin...
