‘Clybourne Park’ takes as its inspiration Lorraine Hansberry’s 1959 play.

“Next to Normal” tells the story of a woman afflicted with bipolar disorder and the effect her illness has on her family.

‘Hamlet’ doesn’t just epitomize the privileging of talk over action; this is, in fact, the play’s anguished subject.

Liv Ullmann talks about faith, Ingmar Bergman and directing “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

“Equivocation” lures viewers into deeper considerations about politics and religion, truth-telling and family relations.

‘Irena’s Vow’ stars the actress Tovah Feldshuh, who first appears onstage telling her incredible story to a group of high school students.
