This week’s Wall Street Journal drama column is devoted to my annual rundown of the shows and performances I liked best in the year just past.
It’s a long list, consisting mainly (but by no means exclusively) of off-Broadway and out-of-town productions, though I did find room for several Broadway shows, including (no surprises here) Conor McPherson’s The Seafarer, Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County, the Roundabout Theatre Company’s Pygmalion, and the revival of Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming that I reviewed enthusiastically in last week’s column.
As for the news from elsewhere, I make mention of the excellence of theater in Chicago, the acting of Hal Holbrook and James Whitmore, the funniest show I saw in 2007, and numerous other good things.
To read all about it–and to find out who the very amusing lady in the photo is–go here.
