Cash for Court
The Court Theatre has snagged some major new funding. Hyde Park Bank is coughing up $150,000 in a three-year sponsorship deal. That will make the locally based bank the theater's largest corporate supporter and the sole sponsor of one show in each of the next three seasons.

Review: Little Otik, Citizens', Glasgow
As arguments over the baby go, "When was the last time you varnished him?" is one of the less common accusations made by a wife to her husband. But when your child has been fashioned from a tree stump and you have to keep him hidden in case the neighbors notice his stick-like fingers, it's the kind of thing that matters. Thus it is, in Vanishing Point's visually striking adaptation of Jan Svankmajer's surreal 2000 movie, "Little Otik," that an infertile couple have their wishes fulfilled, only to be propelled into a nightmarish fairy tale of gothic dimensions.
Review: Rosmersholm, Almeida, London
Even the grave can't stop characters from the past exerting control over prisoners of the present in Ibsen's "Rosmersholm." With its plethora of guilty secrets threatening to strangle everyone's future, the rarely staged drama is further testament to the playwright's prevailing theme. Anthony Page's production for the Almeida cannot solve all the play's problems, but his cast mounts an intermittently strong case for the defense.

Review: F***ing Men, Finborough, London
The bombastic title doesn’t match the tone of the play, which is more wordy and thoughtful than violent and shocking
Review: Lead us into Temptation, Old Red Lion, London
Some freestyle punk poeticism. Sincerely meant musings on faith and hope end up the wrong kind of anguish for the audience
