Boxed-in: Shane Carruth's Primer (2004)
dark eye socket (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009
I couldn’t describe the plot of this film if I tried, but I’ll hazard a guess: a couple of guys, Abe and Aaron (David Sullivan and director Carruth), are working on a machine in their garage that could possibly send objects, and hopefully people, back in time. It’s made out of refrigerator parts and various bits and bobs around the house, and makes a weird humming noise – its...

LaBute play goes from Broadway to GableStage
Miami Herald (Free subscription) | 10/22/2009
Neil LaBute didn't set out to create a trilogy of plays about our obsession with appearance when he wrote his twist-filled Pygmalion tale, The Shape of Things, in 2001. But then he came up with another play on the subject, 2004's Fat Pig. And in 2008, a third one, Reasons To Be Pretty.

The B'way Talkback Craze
The Playgoer (Free subscription) | 10/13/2009
Of all the things for Broadway to pilfer from the nonprofit theatre, why have they resorted to the dreaded "talkback"?

gdffd | 02/20/2009
