The Imaginary Invalid, a Red Bull Theater production at New World Stages

-



The Play: The Imaginary Invalid, a trimmed-down version of the 17th century French farce about a hypochondriac whose obsession with his health blinds him to all the machinations that are going on around him

Written by: Moliere     Adapted by: Jeffrey Hatcher        Directed by: Jesse Berger

One good thing: The cast includes some of the funniest theatrical clowns in the business, including Mark-Linn Baker, Arnie Burton and Stephanie Styles

One not-so-great thing: The pacing is sluggish, which can be the kiss of death for a farce

The Play: Romeo + Juliet; this 21st century spin on the classic love story, which features inclusive and gender-bending casting, music by the hip producer and frequent Taylor Swift collaborator Jack Antonoff and Gen-Z idols Kit Connor and Rachel Ziegler in the title roles, is designed to appeal to young theatergoers and other young people the producers obviously hope to attract  Written by: William Shakespeare        Directed by: Sam Gold One good thing: Connor is everything you’d want in a Romeo: swoon-worthy, suitably sensitive and able to speak the Bard’s language beautifully One not-so-great thing: All the double and triple casting— one example: Juliet’s Nurse and the hothead Tybalt are played by the same actor — makes it hard to follow who’s doing what to whom, especially since costume changes are so rare and so random

The Play: The Merchant of Venice; the problematic tale of an anti-semitic merchant whose inability to pay back a loan he took from a Jewish moneylender results in a dramatic trial that hinges on justice, bigotry and mercy Written by: William Shakespeare        Directed by: Igor Golyak One good thing: Veteran actor Richard Topol who has done such fine work in so many plays about Jewish oppression finally gets a crack at playing the moneylender Shylock, even if he’s being made to do it while wearing a Groucho mask, a Dracula cape, a blood-soaked shirt and vampire teeth One not-so-great thing:  In an effort t o realize his vision of the play as a “comedy,” di rector Igor Golyak has dragged in every gimmick he could think of— the Groucho mask, an actor on a unicycle, bubble machines, superhero costumes, video projections, rap music and breakdancing, puppets, puppets having oral sex—but he’s unable to find a way to make those things mesh with the innate tragedy of S...
