by Ilana Lucas

It couldn’t be clearer why Chris Abraham decided now was the time to stage this play about the challenge that a former pastor and the former caregiver to his late wife pose to a sitting conservative governor’s platform on the eve of a pivotal vote.

Review: POST-DEMOCRACY at Tarragon Theatre
by Ilana Lucas
- Nov 20, 2022
Moscovitch’s POST-DEMOCRACY, a new, tight one-hour drama at Tarragon Theatre, bares the seedy, nepotistic underbelly of the glistening penthouse. The bleak hour is gleefully biting in its criticism of a class invulnerable to consequence. However, it bites off a little more than it can chew in addressing the issues implied by its portentous title.

- Jun 18, 2022
Many great performers tackle Lear every year. From Laurence Olivier and Michael Gambon to Ian McKellen and Simon Russell Beale, it’s become somewhat of a tradition for dramatic actors to take on one of Shakespeare’s biggest challenges once their hair starts to grey. Less often, a female actor comes onto the scene to huge acclaim. Glenda Jackson did so last in a starred performance on Broadway in 2019, but Kathryn Hunter is taking the wretched crown back after her first stint as the destitute monarch 25 years ago.
