Theatre Review: ‘Tis Pity She’s A Whore’ at Irish Classical Theatre
While most theatre companies choose to open their season with a grabby title or celebrated classic, Buffalo’s Irish Classical Theatre Company begins 2019-2020 with a lesser known, nearly 400-year-old show that’s rife with drama and salaciousness. And while it’s not their best work to-date, it’s a bold choice to begin a new season with a … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘Tis Pity She’s A Whore’ at Irish Classical Theatre
Theatre Review: ‘Entertaining Mr. Sloane’ at Irish Classical Theatre
This is one dysfunctional family with a weird twist on sibling rivalry. Brother and sister are love-starved and have a history of being attracted to the same men.

Theatre Review: ‘Sense & Sensibility’ at Irish Classical Theatre
Gossipy, back-biting, smugly superior…yup, sounds like life in the British countryside, late 18th century style. This was the proverbial fodder for Jane Austen’s mill. Kind hearted sisters stripped of their place in society, weak-willed men who don’t deserve them, and lots of smart, witty repartee make Austen’s novels a divine read and a delight on … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘Sense & Sensibility’ at Irish Classical Theatre
First Look: ‘Sense & Sensibility’ at Irish Classical Theatre
There seems to be a line drawn in the sand when it comes to the work of Jane Austen.

Luckily, when Irish Classical Theatre opens their first show of 2019 … Continue reading First Look: ‘Sense & Sensibility’ at Irish Classical Theatre
