  1. Movie Review: Kabluey - 5 stars out of 5

    Sentinel Movie Critic
    The central image of Kabluey is a massive, pointless, impractical foam-rubber mascot suit, the logo for a failing Internet company, a logo that looks suspiciously like the old "AOL man." In the hands of writer-director-star Scott Prendergast, he.. .. ....

  2. Kicking a Dead Horse

    No one can accuse "Kicking a Dead Horse" of not living up to its title.
    amNewYork Theater critic
    No one can accuse "Kicking a Dead Horse" of not living up to its title. Less than five minutes into Sam Shepard's drama, a male actor is literally kicking a giant prop that resembles a dead horse. A booming sound effect even echoes every time that he...

  3. When The City You Love Starts To Scare You

    One night last week I was in a neighborhood near downtown Hartford after one of its residents was burglarized. The man came home to his apartment and found the front door broken. The burglars had taken his valuables and had rummaged through a purse on the...

  4. Irish eyes are roving away from beloved Guinness

    DUBLIN — The two men drink standing near the back of the bar at Davy Byrnes, one of the many watering holes in this city that, in the words of writer Samuel Beckett, who once lived upstairs, have been known to house "broken glass and indiscretion."

  5. 'Eh Joe' and 'I'll Go On'

    linda.winer@newsday.com
    Liam Neeson doesn't say a word. Barry McGovern doesn't shut up. Both wear ratty bathrobes and rattle dry bones from the human abyss in two of the most haunting theatrical pieces Samuel Beckett never wrote for the stage. Neeson is making his Beckett debut...

  6. Pierre Audi is definitely the right hire

    IN 1988, the Netherlands Opera appointed as its new head a 30-year-old Lebanese-born theater director with no background or experience in traditional opera. His passions were avant-garde music, theater and visual art. The opera world was aghast. One prominent New York opera administrator I spoke with at the time said that Pierre Audi would be lucky to last three years and that the Netherlands Opera would be lucky to survive him. Not that anyone outside Holland was likely to notice or care, so provincial was the company.

  7. The summer serendipity of 'blanc fiction'

    "The dog days of summer" is an expression that resonates with extra fervor in this particular year. Gas prices are high and the price of groceries seems to climb a few extra cents with each visit to the store. Mortgage is to foreclosure what bread is to butter. Jobs are being cut and the mood is grim. And in the book world, the running joke is that the month of August is a publishing-wide holiday, so forget about accomplishing much in the way of anything.

  8. 'First Love' is austere but wins you over

    A young man in a hoodie and sneakers steps into a square of light and speaks: "I associate, rightly or wrongly, my marriage with the death of my father. . . . That other links exist, on other planes, between these two affairs, is not impossible."

  9. Linda Winer: Broadway's 'Passing Strange' season

    Ever since "Passing Strange" was virtually overlooked by the Tony Awards last month, I've been nagging friends to see the show - the sooner the better.

    Ever since "Passing Strange" was virtually overlooked by the Tony Awards last month, I've been nagging friends to see the show - the sooner the better. I have no crystal-ball insights about the musical's life span on Broadway. I hope it runs until Stew,...

  12. Pictures speak 'A Thousand Words'

    There's painting, sculpture and a bunch of short plays. Also a bar, fair trade chocolate and a big bowl of Chex Mix. Now playing at Art Share L.A., <a href=&quot;http://theguide.latimes.com/performing-arts/a-thousand-words-event">"A Thousand Words"</a> is an inviting, if erratic, conversation between nine writers and nine downtown artists. Each playwright riffs off one artist's work -- which includes everything from commemorative urns to replicas of Mesopotamian antiquities. The resulting theater feels like a wander round a gallery: Some items demand attention, others don't register.
