REVIEW: A sterling revival of “A Soldier’s Play” at Roundabout Theatre Company

Roundabout Theatre Company presents a sterling revival and Broadway debut of Charles Fuller’s 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning “A Soldier’s Play”, a thrilling and tautly constructed military murder mystery set among the segregated barracks of an Army base in 1944 Central Louisiana.  Kenny Leon directs a terrific ensemble, led by David Alan Grier and Blair Underwood, in one of the best productions Roundabout has presented in recent memory.

REVIEW: John Lithgow’s “Stories By Heart”

“John Lithgow: Stories By Heart” is actor John Lithgow’s love letter to storytelling in which he performs two short stories by Ring Lardner and P.G. Wodehouse and shares a few of his own.  Mr. Lithgow is charming as ever, and gives an impressive performance, but the show itself is disappointing and long-winded.  I wanted more Lithgow, and less Lardner and Wodehouse.
