    Dance of Death - Steppenwolf Chicago - Theater Review Podcast

    Featuring an impressive, ancient, oppressive, dimly lit three story plaster and brick edifice, that apparently was a former jail, it is now the military home of a company commander and his wife located on an offshore island.  Set in Scandinavia sometime in the late 19th or early 20th Century, Alice (Kathryn Erbe) and Edgar (Jeff Perry) will soon be marking the 25TH anniversary of their mostly unhappy marriage. The structure serves as a physical representation of the couple’s own feelings of entrapment and isolation.Playwright August StrindbergAdaptor Conor McPhersonDirector Yasen PeyankovScenic Design - Collette PollardCostume Design - Ana KuzmanicLighting Design - Lee FisknessTheater Review by Reno Lovison

    Annie at Music Theater Works in Skokie is perfect

    The uplifting story of a distinctively red haired, hopelessly optimistic, depression era orphan named Annie is firmly rooted in the early 1930s where the stark contrast between the haves and have-nots was plainly evident everywhere. This was especially true in urban centers like New York City where fortunes large and small were lost in the 1929 stock market crash.

    A Christmas Carol at Goodman is a joyful tradition

    Part of the success and charm of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is its simple elegance. The story is easy to understand even by the youngest theater goers yet it does not talk down the audience. It’s a kind of secular parable with a strong moral lesson to change your ways before it’s too late and The Goodman Theatre has continued the lesson in Chicago for 48 years.

  8. Amadeus at Steppenwolf - Theater Review

    25.11.2025

    Amadeus at Steppenwolf - Theater Review

    “Amadeus” presented at Steppenwolf Theatre Chicago is a story of two men, one believed to be beloved by God and one who believed he could negotiate to win God’s love. On the surface it is easy to assume this is a biographical sketch of Mozart, and indeed the story written by Peter Shaffer does allude to the final years of the composer’s life, but actually this is a story of one man’s envy of another man’s apparent God given talent. Podcast theater review and plot summary by Reno Lovison.
