posted on September 21, 2009
Critical raves for the Firehouse‘s production of Howard Korder’s Boys’ Life just keep coming!
Add John Porter of WCVE 88.9FM , Mary Burruss of Style Weekly , and Preston Duncan of RVa Magazine to the list of Richmond theatre critics who are raving about the current production. The Richmond Times-Dispatch also has cheered the play.
In her Sept. 22 Style review, Ms. Burruss heaps praise on the cast. Maggie Marlin as Lisa is lauded for “flawless timing and complex character development”, while Joe Carlson’s character Jack is described as “acerbicly witty and dangerously charming.” Ms. Burruss continues, “Whether you live in a world of Peter-Pan men, identify with them or would like to learn to avoid them, “Boys’ Life” will strike chords of familiarity.”

Also on Sept. 22, Mr. Duncan, in his review on the RVa Magazine Web site, exhorts that “the whole play darts between exalted hedonism and dark depravity, between domestication and defiant independence, boyishness and manhood.”

In his equally positive Sept. 21 WCVE review, Mr. Porter says the play is “full of humor” and “an admirable kickoff to what looks to be a very promising season for the Firehouse Theatre Project.”
