Ronnie Brixton - The Best of British Boxing

drew petriello · June 18, 2018 certified reviewer
To be clear: you do not need to know a thing about boxing to enjoy this show. Much like the best sports movies, the sport is only a frame against which interesting drama is set against.

Not only does this play wrestle with some very important questions in our modern zeitgeist, but the escalation of conflict is masterful - just when I thought the play was easing up, it would twist the knife a little harder. Made me uncomfortable in a good good way.... full review

Laertes Loves Hamlet Loves Ophelia

I loved this take on three significant characters in our theatrical cannon. They're flawed, they're funny, they're petty, they're brutal, they're heartfelt. Do yourself and favor and see a really unique spin based on the most overdone play of all time.... full review

Pervert

drew petriello · June 11, 2018 uncertified reviewer
A fascinating character drama about politics - not necessarily the issues, but about the system itself and what people will do for power. Very moving, I was engaged the whole time and felt so, so bad for poor Colt,... full review

God: The Apologies Tour
