This would've gotten 4 stars, as Berkeley Rep is a premiere local theater. But one of the productions fell way below (our admittedly high) expectations.Written on Dec 07 2007

The Pillowman
Saturday, January 20, 2007
by martin mcdonagh / directed by les waters
THE SHOW: Get ready for an edgy and enthralling evening with The Pillowman, which blends black comedy and mystery until “whodunit” is the least of your concerns. A man tells ghost stories to entertain his mentally challenged brother—but then grisly murders that mirror these tales slice through town, and two cops come knocking. Author Martin McDonagh won a Tony Award for Beauty Queen of Leenane and an Oscar for his short, Six Shooter. THE BUZZ: “A spellbinding stunner. The laughs trail into gulps and gasps.” --New York Times
To the Lighthouse
Saturday, March 3, 2007
adapted from virginia woolf by adele edling shank / directed by les waters
THE SHOW: To the Lighthouse is an ambitious adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s visionary novel. It illuminates the life of a house—where a couple live, argue, love and endure; where children play, cry and grow up; where a woman paints. She paints the sea. She paints the lighthouse. And, finally, she paints the stage. THE BUZZ: Obie Award-winning director Les Waters brought Berkeley Rep sold-out runs of Yellowman and The Glass Menagerie.
The Blue Door
Saturday, April 14, 2007
by tanya barfield / directed by delroy lindo
THE SHOW: When he refuses to attend the Million Man March, a professor finds his life thrown into turmoil. Unable to sleep in the bed abandoned by his wife, he’s visited by his ancestors—men who fought to be free, to vote, to obtain justice. The Blue Door will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to live with—or escape—the past. THE BUZZ: Oakland’s Delroy Lindo came to prominence on Broadway. He reinforced his reputation with major roles in films such as The Cider House Rules, Get Shorty and Malcolm X. Now Lindo turns his hand to directing on the intimate Thrust Stage.
Oliver Twist
Saturday, May 19, 2007
adapted directed by neil bartlett
THE SHOW: Neil Bartlett’s staging of Oliver Twist uses the original language of Charles Dickens’ novel to dramatize one of the most deeply felt stories ever written about childhood. A cast of unforgettable characters brings the underworld of 19th-century London to thrilling life—a city teeming with danger and fear—all seen through the eyes of an astonished child. By turns comic and tragic, musical and dramatic, Bartlett’s Twist was a runaway success in London. THE BUZZ: “Dickens in all his dark, gaudy glory...Truly stunning theatre.” --London’s Daily Telegraph
