Adam Magazine on the Crazy Years

Looting, killing and raping -- by twisting their words they call it "empire"; and wherever they have created a wilderness they call it "peace" -- Tacitus

A good review for Ionesco, Stoppard, Pinter

Three-Way Confusion (washingtonpost.com) Longacre Lea is a small theater company that gets some big laughs in its latest outing, a production of "The Bald Soprano," "After Magritte" and "The Dumb Waiter," three one-act farces by, respectively, Eugene Ionesco, Tom Stoppard and Harold Pinter. Each of the pieces, which share a preoccupation with the elusiveness of meaning, has strengths and weaknesses. Fortunately, director Kathleen Akerley seizes on the former to build an absurdist whirligig of an evening that, while a little long, holds together.
