Good Boys and True

Roberto Aguirre-Sacas has the imagination dramatic savvy to give a potent facelift to a familiar situation, and make it not only blaze with erotic tension but reveal the effect of the legacy…

A Well-Manicured Meltdown By JOY GOODWIN

The play goes down easy, but its aftertaste is sharp.

When scandal poisons the halls of ivy by MICHAEL SOMMERS

Despite its open-ended conclusion, "Good Boys and True" may resemble a staged TV drama, but the urgency of the performances lends the show considerable vitality as it unfolds.

Good Boys and True
Reviewed by: Dan Bacalzo

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's unevenly executed play about a sex scandal at an all-boys school nonetheless raises some interesting issues.

Sex, School and Videotape (Hold the Tea and Sympathy, Please) By CHARLES ISHERWOOD

REVIEW: 'Two Unrelated Plays by David Mamet' By Charles McNulty

Mamet showcases his breadth in 'The Duck Variations' and 'Keep Your Pantheon' at the Kirk Douglas Theatre.

Two Unrelated Plays by David Mamet
Review By BOB VERINI

Separately and together, the comedies have been shaped by helmer Neil Pepe into a crackerjack means of beating the summer heat.

'Two Unrelated Plays' at the Douglas is strictly Mamet lite By PAUL HODGINS

A pair of slight but amusing one-act plays won't please fans of classic Mamet but showcase his comedic talents and a gaggle of his acting buddies.

NO ESCAPE by Andy Buck
