Aristocrats at the Irish Repertory Theatre
I was looking forward to seeing “Aristocrats” at the Irish Repertory Theatre for a purely selfish reason. My heritage is half Irish, and I was jonesing for the sound of an Irish accent.
For my money, the theatre is up there in the ten top reasons to be human. I leave my home and go sit in a dark room with complete strangers and watch actors do their stuff because I want to be inspired. I’m asking to be involved. I’m volunteering to be led down any old path they choose as long as they don’t let go of my hand. And if I see a show, and it is NOT so very good – I will try to divert you, because I don’t want you to come to the temple when the preaching isn’t up to snuff. I will bar the door, I will swing from rafters, I will yell FIRE just to set your feet on a path that does not lead to disappointment. Do something different with your evening I will say. Save your money for dinner with a friend you haven’t seen in months because you are too frigging busy. Go take a walk with your dog or your child or your significant other. Go to bed early, I will say. Don’t come to the theatre when it is less than it can be. I’m an usher snob, and that’s all there is to it.

The Handspring Puppet Company presented an adaptation of J.M. Coetzee’s novel The Life & Times of Michael K at St. Ann’s Warehouse into a lyrical triumph of a production.

“Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My Show” is an acquired taste, meaning you have to keep up with her rapid delivery that lasts a mere 80 minutes.

The Sweet Spot, now at the postage stamp-sized Theatre C at 59E59, is an earnest play in which Alice Jankel takes us into that moment when life changes for a well-married couple.
