NY Review: 'The Hallway Trilogy' by David Sheward

Strong performances help this trilogy of plays set in the hallway of a Lower East Side tenement over 150 years, but playwright Adam Rapp takes on too many themes and characters.

NY Review: 'In The Wake' by David Sheward

Despite some eloquently expressed ideas, Lisa Kron's political drama drowns in a sea of words. Marin Ireland and Deirdre O'Connell do their best to bail it out, but their stimulus package is not enough.

The Merry Wives of Windsor by David Sheward

Shakespeare proves an excellent sitcom writer in this elegantly simple and simply elegant production from Shakespeare's Globe Theatre of London.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

Molly Sweeney by David Sheward

The Irish Repertory Theatre provides the perfect intimate setting for this monologue play featuring a blazing performance from Geraldine Hughes.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'Lombardi' by David Sheward

Eric Simonson fails to score a touchdown with this lackluster bio-play. There are plenty of stats but little dramatic conflict.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'Colin Quinn: Long Story Short" by David Sheward

Colin Quinn brings his low-key delivery and unique satiric perspective to a crash course on world civilization. It's pretty funny, but will audiences fork over Broadway prices for a 75-minute show? SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: "It Must Be Him" by David Sheward

Clichés and stale jokes pervade this sitcom of a play from Emmy-winning TV veteran Kenny Solms. Peter Scolari, Alice Playten, and Bob Ari valiantly attempt to add dimension to their…

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'Peter and the Starcatcher' by David Sheward

In this prequel to "Peter Pan," directors Alex Timbers and Roger Rees and playwright Rick Elice create an imaginative and wildly entertaining Victorian-music-hall spoof.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'The Misanthrope' by David Sheward

There is both sexual and literary chemistry in this modest but effective Pearl Theatre Company production of Molière's classic.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'Blood From a Stone' by David Sheward

Despite admirable attempts at CPR by a valiant cast, director, and creative team, novice playwright Tommy Nohilly's calamitous family drama does not pull through.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'Donny & Marie: A Broadway Christmas' by David Sheward

Donny and Marie Osmond both work hard for the holiday cheer in this Vegas-style entertainment; the trouble is that we can see them sweat. Kudos to Marie for a supple and versatile voice.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'La Bête' by David Sheward

A flop in 1991, David Hirson's erudite comedy in verse gets a second chance to dazzle Broadway. Mark Rylance gives a spectacular tour de farce performance, while David Hyde Pierce and Joanna…

Roadkill Confidential by David Sheward

Playwright Sheila Callaghan examines America's lust for fame and indifference to violence in this on-target multimedia satire.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

The Ride by David Sheward

An interactive tour of the Times Square area offers harmless, silly fun as well as ample employment opportunities for actors.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

Edgewise by David Sheward

Playwright Eliza Clark takes a seeming ordinary fast-food restaurant and three normal kids and turns out a taut and scary examination of the effects of terrorism.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'The Language Archive' by David Sheward

Julia Cho's play has its funny and touching moments, but its central premise—a linguist unable to communicate with his wife—is too obvious.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'Three Sisters' by David Sheward

Director Austin Pendleton makes more than a few odd staging choices but also elicits some heartbreaking performances in the CSC production of the Chekhov classic.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

The Road to Qatar! by David Sheward

This shaggy-dog story about a musical written to premiere in a Middle Eastern soccer stadium is better suited for an anecdote than a full-fledged tuner.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

The Break of Noon by David Sheward

Neil LaBute reverts to his formula of brutish protagonists and political incorrectness in this twisted morality tale. TV star David Duchovny lacks stage presence.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

Above Hell's Kitchen by David Sheward

Songwriter, book writer, and lead actor Jonathan Spottiswoode displays a great deal of promise, but his storyline is tired and confused.

SOURCE: Backstage at 5:58pm on May 25, 2015☆⚑

NY Review: 'The Collection & A Kind of Alaska' by David Sheward

Two one-acts from different periods in his career display Harold Pinter's range and give a quintet of New York's finest actors the opportunity to explore the depths of his famous pauses.

NY Review: 'Heterosexuals or the War Over Jane Fonda' by David Sheward

This two-dimensional work by veteran playwright Robert Patrick, presented by the Fresh Fruit Festival, feels like an old episode of "All in the Family."
