Review: Teresa Doggett is Bloody Brilliant in Albion Theatre's THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE


by James Lindhorst - March 15, 2025

As the Irish would say, THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE is simply grand. Ashton is a skillful storyteller. He and his assistant director C.J. Langdon have elicited stunning performances from Cochran, Doggett, Matthews, and Meyers. McDonagh’s script is dripping with mordant and grim humor. Put Albion’s f...

Review: CONSTELLATIONS at West End Players Guild is a Bittersweet Nugget of Relationship Reality


by James Lindhorst - February 15, 2025

West End Players Guild’s production of CONSTELLATIONS is a bittersweet dose of reality. It is a relationship story more than a love story.
