Money worries are certainly topical, but Dennis Kelly’s “dark, angry,” brilliant new play is a “wake-up call” for anyone being swallowed by them, said the Chicago Sun-Times. In a series of loosely linked scenes, Kelly’s characters allow their acquisitive instincts to corrupt their better impulses. Their blindness might just “shake your soul.”

Young Jean Lee’s nearly wordless, completely clothes-free show is “one of the more moving and imaginative works” to be staged in years, said The New Yorker. Through dance and a few props, the all-female, six-member cast generates a powerful commentary on gender roles.
The North Plan
Portland Center Stage, Portland, Ore.
(503) 445-3700
