It takes a long time for La Bête, the 1991 David Hirson play currently being revived at The Music Box, to get to its real point, but when it does it arrives with the force of last month's B…

Fellowship! - part of The New York Musical Theatre Festival by Matthew Murray

The Language Archive by Matthew Murray

How often does it happen that a play’s best moments are those that aren’t spoken, even though its dialogue is a tour de force? Julia Cho achieves this feat in her remarkable new …
