Hare belles

Divas Plum and Carroll exude The Breath of Life
With apologies to Winston Churchill, The Breath of Life is a cliché wrapped in an enigma — or two. On the face of it, award-winning British writer David Hare's ruthless yet sentimental two-hander (at Gloucester Stage through August 2) is a standard confrontation between a betrayed wife and her husband's long-time mistress.

Mamet’s Romance with ART; ASP’s Much Ado About Nothing

After the fall

Sweeney Todd ; Macbeth ; A House with No Walls
The evil is boiled down in the revival of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and that makes for a stew far tastier than Mrs. Lovett’s human-hamburger pies.

Chorus pro Musica’s verismo duo; the Boston Early Music Festival; and Carousel at the Pops
