Phyllis Nagy's "Never Land" Breaks New Ground That is Both Thrilling and Frustrating @ Theatre Theater Review by M.R. Hunter
 
Never LandThe American premiere of playwright/director Phyllis Nagy's award-winning play at the Rogue Machine never convincingly lands the expressively garrulous language or avant-garde tome on sure ground. In an attempt to break from the mold, Nagy's brilliant but often times rambling streams of consciousness, poetic soliloquies, and exaggerated dramatic outbursts come across as stilted interruptions peppered between the otherwise languidly interminable interludes.
 
This three-act play then, is not for the faint of linguistic ear or complacent viewing as it runs with two intermissions and confronts the audience with an unsettling sense of intensity throughout. Nevertheless, Nagy's stark, moodily evocative examination of a family of self-resolved foreigners in their own homeland creates a fascinating surrealist portrait distorted by lunacy seen through the lens of enabling love.

Centerville Pumpkin Show, Centerville, Ohio, 1959 by Charles Phoenix
 
Charles Phoenix Slide
Among the crowd two suited men stand out gazing and pointing at the beautiful, bountiful harvest of pumpkins and gourds lined on wood platforms. A pumpkin tree is staged in the heart of town. It's Christmas treeness reminds us that the season of santa is right around the corner. A Ferris wheel spins a block away. Welcome to the greatest pumpkin party in America!

Celebrating everything pumpkin has been happening in Centerville since 1903. The historic festival begins its 106th year today, right here in the center of Centerville, which, btw isn't in the center of the state where the name would lead us to believe. It's in southwest part of the state. They should change the name of the city to Pumpkinville?
