		<description><![CDATA[October 5, 2007 performance reviewed by Frances Benn Hall.
Bruce E Rodger’s &#8220;The Gravity of Honey&#8221; now rotating in repertory at the Chester Theatre Company with Jerome Kilty’s &#8220;Dear Liar,&#8221; is a strange play and one in which this reviewer found the acting more fascinating than the script.
The play begins with Honey Leon (Bairbre Dowling), a [...]]]></description>

Jerome Kilty’s Dear Liar is one of two Irish plays being offered in repertory at the Chester Theatre Company in its annual Founders Director’s Production. Directed by Vincent Dowling, who in 1990 founded the company as The Miniature Theatre of Chester, it is a glorious romp into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sept. 28, 2007 performance reviewed by Frances Benn Hall
With the summer season of Shakespeare plays over, the Founders&#8217; Theatre has for the current production of Jeremy Paul’s “The Secret of Sherlock Holmes” been reconfigured into a proscenium-type theatre with stage spanning the back wall and audience seating replacing the thrust stage area.
Set designer Paulo Seixas’s [...]]]></description>

That Willy Russell&#8217;s &#8220;Educating Rita&#8221; starring Jonathan Epstein and Tara Franklin, directed by Richard Corley, mounted on a fabulously versatile and detailed set, now again playing at the Unicorn Theatre, would be the icing on the cake on top of an outstanding summer season at the BTF, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[August 16, 2007 performance reviewed by Frances Benn Hall 
Lillian Hellman&#8217;s &#8220;Autumn Garden&#8221; at Williamstown&#8217;s Festival Theatre is a perfectly marvelous play, probably atypical in being an ensemble play and very unlike Hellman&#8217;s better known highly plotted plays, but in her opinion and that of this reviewer, her best.

		<description><![CDATA[August 12, 2007 performance reviewed by Frances Benn Hall.
How to produce Chekhov’s plays has been controversial ever since, a hundred years ago Stanislavsky at the Moscow Arts Theatre declared them to be tragedies and Chekhov objected to taking them too seriously and insisted they were comedies.
The basic problem, of course, is that they are both, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Aug. 4, 2007 performance reviewed by Frances Benn Hall.
Paul Osborn’s “Morning at Seven,” now playing at the Berkshire Theatre Festival under Vivian Matalon’s inspired direction, is probably the funniest play of the season with the audience repeatedly a-roar.  And the joy is that it is not just a couple of comic characters bringing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aug.3, 2007 performance reviewed by Frances Benn Hall.
Antony and Cleopatria playing for the rest of the summer at Shakespeare and Company has much going for it.  Although one of the great tragedies and one that tends to be rarely produced, it is one of the most poetic with only some 70 prose lines among [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[August 2, 2007 performance reviewed by Frances Benn Hall.
There is so much to praise in the absolutely faultless production of Emlyn Williams’ The Corn is Green at the Williamstown Theatre Festival that it is challenging to know where to start or what words can convey just where the magic lies.

The play itself is a beautiful [...]]]></description>
