Two theater reviews

The lack of posting has been partially due to two of my pieces going to the Maroon. Last week I reviewed both Dead Man's Cell Phone at the Steppenwolf and Four Places at Victory Gardens. I liked them both. Say what you will about Sarah Ruhl, but I do think her sudden popularity is justified. As for Four Places, it's surprisingly one of the better shows I've seen all season, and easily one of the best shows I've ever seen where the average age of the audience was over 60.
