Pure Sorkin, for better and for worse, The Trial of the Chicago 7 is a solid, old-fashioned courtroom drama.
A delicate, if at times cold, character-driven tale of hardship and acceptance.
A fun, if imperfect, mishmash of comedy subgenres driven by a charismatic duo of rebellious teenage girls.
A rich, deep intellectual exercise, The Surrogate explores questions with no easy answers, and clocking in at a brisk 90 minutes, it doesn’t belabor its points or overstay its welcome.
There’s something here for you if you love dialogue-heavy dramas, but this play doesn’t quite click.
