Review: Agnes of God by Desert Wine Productions

A likeable enough religious mystery/thriller on a budget. Agnes of God is a production whose script pulls out all the stops for shock – an amnesiac novice nun found with her baby strangled by its own umbilical cord and absentmindedly tossed into a wastepaper basket, a cagey Mother Superior who becomes increasingly suspicious as secrets from the convent keep slipping out, and an atheist psychiatrist tasked … Continue reading Review: Agnes of God by Desert Wine Productions

Review: The Consultant by Wag the Dog Theatre

Office politics makes for prime dramedy in this tightly scripted, well performed second outing for Wag the Dog.  Love it or hate it, we all form inextricable links to the office as we step into work each day. In a sense, an office even becomes a kind of intimate community, and it’s no wonder that for years, it’s been the source of both drama and … Continue reading Review: The Consultant by Wag the Dog Theatre
