David Hurst takes a look at Lady G: Plays and Whisperings of Lady Gregory at Irish Repertory Theatre:
Four of the Irish Repertory Theatre's stalwart regular performers are breathing fire into the life and plays of Lady Augusta Gregory in the Rep's intimate W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre. Lady who? Funny you should ask, because Lady G: Plays and Whisperings of Lady Gregory, which has been compiled, collated and coordinated by director Ciarán O'Reilly, will give you a crash course on the grand dame of Irish theatre who just happened to be one of the co-founders of the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. It's part A&E "Biography" and part History Channel "Investigates," and all charm and tongue-in-cheek humor thanks to a spirited cast and an interesting subject. |
