Adam House
Festen
✭✭✭✭✩ Dark matters:
There is a fierce intensity to the Grads’ Festen at Adam House, in a consistently strong production that crackles with energy.
August: Osage County
★★★☆☆ Brave attempt
Some excellent performances and high production values give The Grads’ production of August: Osage County interest and a degree of merit, but overall it can only be seen as a qualified success.

This is the world of real-estate salesmen. A pack of beings whose own […]
