...excellent—in the deft hands of Nixon and Tony-nominated director Daniel Sullivan, it must have been an emotional Tilt-a-Whirl.This production runs more like an emotional steam-roller thanks to John Tillinger’s blunt direction, barreling forward with a schedule to keep. The script??s writing is nuanced enough to transcend its “Lifetime”-esqe sappy subject matter, but here it gets a treatment that silences all but its most blaring notes.The play begins eight months after Becca (Donna Bullock) and her husband, Howie (Jordan Lage) lose their four-year...
...Experimental Theatre through October 21, goes a long way towards making the show a truly enjoyable experience. Directed by Lillian Ritchie ’08 and produced by Sandra Ekong ’08, the play falters, however, in many of the same areas as Wilde’s script??as the staging of many events essential to the plot seem unnatural.

Johnson ’06, co-producer Farley T. Katz ’06, Michael C. Mitnick ’06, and Andrei Nechita ’06—was peppered with ear-withering foul language, gratuitous strip teases, glib drug abuse, cringe-inducing...
...children measles for the day. Lesson learned—with Nanny McPhee, get up or get ill. After each lesson taught, one of Nanny McPhee’s physical flaws disappears. To enlarge the slim plot into a full-length movie, Thompson—who also wrote the script??throws in a half-baked storyline involving Mr. Brown’s financial and marital problems. When wealthy Great Aunt Adelaide (Angela Lansbury) tells the broke Mr. Brown he must marry or will lose her financial assistance, he settles on Ms. Quickly (Celia Imrie), a horrid social climber...
