  • Talking to James Urbaniak

    Culturebot contributor Katherine Steinberg is a writer based in New York. I think Charles Isherwood best describes Thom Pain as “stand-up existentialism.” He goes on to say that, “Mr. Eno and his performer, the actor James Urbaniak, hereby reinvent that seemingly moribund theatrical genre, the solo show.” So true, so true. This month Culturebot talks…

  • What’s the Story: Is It Dance or Theater?

    In this article on Matthew Bourne’s “Play Without Words” John Rockwell says: But my main interest is why Mr. Bourne, like several other European choreographers, seems so eager to market his dance as theater.

  • first blog play

    “Baghdad Burning: Girl Blog From Iraq” is not a very good play, but it’s worth your attention for two reasons. It’s the only political drama in New York written from the point of view of an Iraqi who lived through the American invasion, and, for better or worse, it inaugurates an entirely new (and seemingly…
