Not only uncomfortable folding metal chairs, butthe first row is practically a football field away from the upstage playing area?"The sight lines are excellent, the large space in the front was historically used for ensemble movement based theatre. Folding metal chairs are folding metal chairs. What’s odd t...

Wonderful news. I would guess much of the original Steppenwolf cast will be a part of it.... that's usually been the case with their Broadway transfers. But goodness the online discourse about Israel and what is a meaningful response to the crisis has gotten idiotic. And I say this as a long time supporter of Palestinian human rights.

SweetLips22 said: "Sport is the King is Australia and there are pages in newspapers supporting this. There only the companies advert. for their show and maybe 2 paragraphs-somewhere by the paper. Reviews are spasmodic and more about the writers ego. There are hours of sport weekly on TV and the only showbiz news is about pop 'stars' or on showbiz drama. There is no outlet for live theater. Australia has only a very small population and an even smaller one for theater. We have no tourists that...

Fantastic piece, thanks for posting. I had no idea it had been a functioning theater for that long.

Donald J. Trump appears to be covered in a kind of burkha.

PipingHotPiccolo said: "there are definitely some people here who have missed the point---parroting the same "antizionism" that is clearly a cover for antisemitism that the play addresses-- but im lost as to how this piece was meant to satisfy a woke anti israel mob?Lithgow's Dahl is a pleasant but dangerous monster, who spews venom at Israel (some of reasonable) but clearly and unambiguously hates Jewish people, regardless of their affiliation with the Israeli government. The play ends with ...

Back Row said: "If you think for one minute that this guy is going to honor any judge’s order, you haven’t been paying attention. His workaround may be to demolish the Kennedy Center completely so he can replace it with another hideous monument to himself, but trust me, compliance is not on the menu."No, Trump does comply with (or backs down from) the majority of legal rulings made against him. It’s a propaganda victory to make it seem like that never happens.

I always take mine off unless it’s pumping freezing AC and then I put mine back on.

How would that work?"Interested buyers will submit their own bids and proposals after viewing all the paperwork and details of the sale, and then ATG will decide who they want to sell to. It’s not a traditional auction in the “highest bidder wins” sense. There’s a lot of factors, like what they plan to do with the business in general and do they even have the funds to make the sale hap...

The word “auction” in the above article caught my attention. How would that work?

What I found odd about the production is that in the original film the Brits are caricatured like the glorious Eric Blore as the valet. But in the UK Chichester production it felt like the Yanks were being leaned into as cartoon characters.

PipingHotPiccolo said: "But the play still works, and not only thanks to Lithgow. It uses Dahl to exemplify how true bigotry based on race/religion is really nothing more paranoid delusion. There are ALOT of Dahls out there these days, on the right and the left."If the anti-Zionism of Rosenblatt and Lithgow's "Dahl" is nothing more than true bigotry and a paranoid delusion there would have been no play. The activating power of the play and also Lithgow's performance is that there is a vein of...

Ptero2 said: "It's somewhat unfortunate that this play really has nothing interesting to say about Israel/Palestine. It's not the point, but it's such a hot button issue that it feels weird to have it as a prop to get to a character study on this fascinatingly flawed person. Not sure how they could have averted this though, given the real facts of Dahl's life."Israel/Palestine is at the center of the play, I think. Are diasporic Jews associated with the actions of Israel whether they/we like ...

Charley Kringas Inc said: "When Jessie asks Tom where he would go if Jews were banned from England, he blithely replies, "Provence", which feels like a pointed criticism of the way that Americans isolate themselves, and how itleads to a hysterical and apocalyptic mindset. There's an intriguing subject to be explored there."Tom is rather posh but it’s also a running gag Rosenblatt uses to deflate Dahl’s and others’ idea of Jewish stereotypes. When Dahl makes a reference to Golders Green as the...

Has there been any reporting on what caused the fire?
