Holmes & Watson – Theatre Review: Arizona Theatre Company, Herberger Theater Center, Phoenix
It begins with a crack of thunder and ends with the haunting, fading strings of a violin. And with that simple description of such a Gothic sounding framework, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re reading the intro and outro to a Hammer Horror production, the kind that chilled film audiences from the late fifties, into the […]

Beehive the 60’s musical – Theatre Review: Phoenix Theatre, Phoenix
Watching the final production of Phoenix Theatre’s 2016/17 season is like powering up the turntable and playing your favorite all-girl sixties greatest hits live double-album, except here you get the pleasure of actually seeing those live performances for yourself.

It’s like experiencing a faint echo of […]

The Dinner – Film Review
It never bodes well when the author of the book upon which a film is based gives the end result a thumbs down. In this case the author was Dutch writer Herman Koch, the book is his 2009 drama Het Diner, and the film is the third version of the same story, The Dinner with […]
