		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Anchored by the well-honed comedic timing of Diva LaVida as Mari, a tough mariachi seeking revenge for the killing of his “womans” by local gangster Mierda, the cast of this provocative parody of Robert Rodriguez’s cult favorite &#8220;El Mariachi” (later remade into the more popular “Desperado” starring Antonio Banderas) works hard to sell the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Amir is an American of Islamic heritage, his parents from the part of the world now known as Pakistan. He seems fully assimilated in all the ways mainstream America would want him to be: he&#8217;s disavowed the religion of his people, married a white woman and, most important of all, become an asshole corporate [...]]]></description>

She&#8217;s just barely survived a horrible injury while [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://newcitystage.com/?p=16937</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Signal Ensemble might be the 1968 New York Jets of Chicago theater: scrappy, undermanned and under-resourced, but quarterbacked by a leader with a knack for championship-level razzle dazzle. I&#8217;d write something like that, but Ronan Marra, Signal&#8217;s co-artistic director and the playwright of &#8220;Motion&#8221; is a Cleveland native and a Browns fan, so he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Jeffrey Skilling (Bret Tuomi) comes to Enron with new ideas: mark-to-market accounting, electricity trading. The company makes fistfuls of cash and causes fatal, rolling blackouts in California. But it’s not just Skilling’s ideas that are scandalous; it’s that everyone (Enron lawyers and accountants, the financial industry) lets him get away with it. I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED What if all the magical action in “The Tempest” happened inside the head of one bitter, wronged man? “The Feast” portrays a tormented Prospero (John Judd) commanding his slaves Ariel (Samuel Taylor) and Caliban (Adrian Danzig) to repeatedly act out an unfolding drama of his own creation using masks and puppets. But despite all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED When David Mamet was on Charlie Rose promoting the New York premiere of his new play “Race” last year, he was naturally enough asked what he thought of President Obama. “I would rather not answer that question,” he said after a long silence, “as it might influence how people approach this play.” Since then, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Lest one be confused by the title of this 2009 Simon Stephens play, Griffin opens the show with the image of British schoolchildren rocking out to Big Black&#8217;s &#8220;Kerosene,&#8221; a mean thrasher whose lines &#8221;Probably come to die in this town, lived here my whole life&#8221; encapsulate the very palpable fears of the play&#8217;s protagonists.

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED There&#8217;s a certain advantage to adapting a masterpiece of literature to the stage: the story and the characters are proven entities, not likely to elicit complaints about plausibility or development. But there is an even bigger disadvantage: not only will audiences inevitably make comparisons, usually unfavorable, to the primary work, but the distillation of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED &#8220;Dark Play or Stories for Boys&#8221; is a cautionary tale about teenagers’ willingness to avoid face-to-face conversations and retreat to the worldwide web in order to feel what they want to feel. The omnipresence of the internet today, and the resulting confusion about what’s real and what’s not real, perpetuates cruelty that only shows through [...]]]></description>
