Top 5 Plays of 2006

5. THE WOMEN, Speakeasy Stage Company
All-star cast with stellar direction brought this timely tale of friends and gossip to delicious new heights this past fall!

4. THE PILLOWMAN, NewRep
Actor John Kuntz brought his brilliant self to this nightmarishly good fun play by Martin McDonagh.

3. FROZEN, New Rep
The actors were brilliant. The directing was brilliant. But the most brilliant aspect of this production was the "snow" that covered the stage. It added a textured layer of physical and audio sensations.

2. RABBIT HOLE, Huntington Theatre
What a powerful piece of theatre this is. And fortunately, audiences were blessed to witness such a powerful cast and direction - not to mention the impressive (and moving) set.

1. TWELVE ANGRY MEN, Colonial Theatre
The most powerful aspect of this masterpiece is its relevance, some 50 years after its initial release. An all-star cast provided riveting perfomances of this play which made everyone anything but angry.
