Theatrical Reviews

Theatre reviews for The Arts Fuse, a critical web magazine for the Boston arts scene.

Theatre Review: Allegiance

“There’s nothing that can sink a work of art into banality quite so reliably as political relevance….Unfortunately, though this show is ‘inspired by a true story,’ its truths are too superficially made, its characters too stock, its plot too pat, and its music too unmemorable to be as artistically powerful as its subject matter deserves.”

Theatre review: Bedlam’s twelfth night and what you will

“With playfulness and dexterity, Bedlam projects questions about identity, gender, appearances, love, and revenge through a theatrical prism that discloses new colors and shades in one of the Bard’s most beloved texts.”

Theatre Review: Peter and the starcatcher

“There’s a deep-seated magic to the Peter Pan story, a spark, bright as Tinkerbell and as hard to pin down and define. J.M. Barrie’s story may have burst into the canon of beloved children’s tales in the early 20th century, but its allure and stamina are so powerful that it seems as if it has always existed.”
