THEATER: A revival of Patrick Hamilton’s thriller Gaslight has just begun at Irish Rep; some may remember the award-winning 1944 film version starring Ingrid Bergman and Angela Lansbury. The chilling study in domestic domination to the max concerns a diabolical husband who, not satisfied in exploiting his wife’s savings to buy their house, plots her murder. But while he’s out the police inspector comes in to warn the poor bride that her husband is suspected of another “black-hearted murder” committed fifteen years ago... in the very same house! - John Del Signore

THEATER: No Man’s Island is a two-man Australian import having its New York premiere thanks to GUTworks theatre and multimedia company. The story unfolds in an Aussie prison where two felons from opposite sides of the outback are tossed together with no hope of reprieve. As time passes under the harsh lights, their incarceration becomes the existential petri dish for a study in common ground. Josh Sherman calls it a “powerful new piece that deserves a longer run and as much attention as it can grab." - John Del Signore
