...only delineating separating feature of the set, which was also designed by Lupa. A slightly reflective screen divides the living room foreground from the dining room background, allowing the juxtaposition of divergent actions in the two rooms, so the audience’s attention can easily shift back and forth between the two. The precise physical and mental spaces in which the play takes place are made more unclear by a staging that is self-consciously stylized. The actors overemphasize emotions and often dramatically shift moods with little or no cause. The middle sister Masha (Molly Ward) especially exaggerates...
Cage is pacing back and forth in the dressing room when I find him, looking up every now and then to say few words to Camu Tao, his long-time collaborator. It’s half-an-hour before he’s scheduled to go on stage and his palms are sweaty when I shake his hand. Though Boston is the last stop on the twenty-city “Hell’s Winter” tour, opening up to packed club on Saturday night is a still a relatively new phenomenon for Cage...

One by one he returns each rod, unchanged. "But Joseph received the last rod," reads the Protevangelium, "and lo, a dove came forth of the rod and flew upon the head of Joseph." Joseph protests, saying "I am old. But she is a girl. I fear lest I should become a laughingstock." But he eventually gives...
...while. Little Red Riding Hood? The Chronicles of Narnia? Robert Frost? Obviously the Shout Out Louds are on par with the best of literary-metaphoric writers. Or are they? What does it all mean? A lamp that, when lit, turns day to night...a path beaten back and forth through birch trees...a burnished red suitcase succumbing to the snow? The weight of these metaphors is far beyond my pseudo-science concentrator capabilities. I’ll leave the interpretation to you, literati. . . suffice to say that the video is worth a watch, if just for the chance to hear...
