Note: Out Front Theatre’s staging of “warplay” opened and closed last weekend due to coronavirus concerns. As a publication of record, and out of respect for all the artists involved in bringing “warplay” to life, we decided to publish our review anyhow. A video of this “warplay” is available for $20 via the Out Front…

An old, mad leader, full of pomp and arrogance regarding his own greatness, bestows entirely too much power on his lying, power-hungry children, and the world falls into a storm of chaos, bickering and violence as a result. It’s tempting to say that Shakespeare’s King Lear has much to teach us in the Trump era,…
