BWW Review: BAROQUE CAROLS, AND HUNGER FOR THE CROWN, IS THE ORIGIN STORY OF CHRISTMASES OF YESTERYEAR IN THE LION IN WINTER at FreeFall Theatre
by Drew Eberhard
- Nov 25, 2019
Upon entering the space the audience is immediately surrounded by the dwellings of a castle. The beautiful set design by Tom Hansen lent itself well to this harkened tale of Christmas in England. Henry II, King of England and his ward Alais are seen talking about their love and the King donning a Blood Red Crown that has been exquisitely crafted to the finest detail. Soon we meet the three sons of King Henry, Richard Lionheart, John and Geoffrey. All three are bastards in the eyes of King Henry and all three feel their stake at the Crown is higher, and more deserving than the others. Whether written into the script or a Directors choice, the use of Christmas carols, both modern and Baroque was a nice touch and lent itself well to the story and made scene changes seamless. A nice touch from the set design was having the pieces of the King's table fly in from up above and added nicely to the set. The texture of having the candles on every inch of the set, gave the castle a warm feeling and made it also feel very elegant and regal.

by Pamela Roberts
- Nov 1, 2018
Political legitimacy and enduring human connections are at the forefront of a gorgeous and spare King John at the Folger Theatre.

- Dec 30, 2017
Hale Centre Theatre in Gilbert kicks off the new year with the uproarious comedy See How They Run. The classic Brit-com features over-the-top mistaken identities, an escaped Russian spy, a Cockney maid, a straight-laced bishop, a blonde American actress who is married to a vicar, a snooty parishioner who is a scold, and an old friend of the actress who is now in the army. Shenanigans and riotous chaos ensue when four of the characters assume clergymen's attire, including the Russian spy. The arrival of the stately bishop doesn't calm things down but further leads to mirthful gossip, danger and mishaps, climaxing into an absolute all-out laugh-riot.
