On Around Town, talking Uprising and Bad Dog and Alice in Wonderland

Chris Klimek

After our summer hiatus, I'm back on WETA's Around Town with host Robert Aubry Davis and fellow theatregoer Jane Horwitz to talk about three recent shows I reviewed for the Washington City Paper: MetroStage's historical musical Uprising, Olney Theatre Center's brutal-but-funny addiction drama Bad Dog, and Synetic Theatre's confused new version of Alice in Wonderland. You will no doubt notice from my lapels that I am wearing a new sport jacket, at my mom's insistence. Anyway, please enjoy my stuttering, my trailing off, and of course, my truly peerless sportjacket-wearing.

After the Raid: Uprising, reviewed.

Chris Klimek

Reviewed in this week's Washington City Paper: Gabrielle Fulton's Uprising, about Osborne Perry Anderson, who wrote the only first-hand account of the doomed 1859 raid on Harper's Ferry led by abolitionist John Brown. In this "rolling world premiere" at Alexandria, Virginia's MetroStage, a mix of Negro spirituals and original songs power Fulton's story of a romance between Anderson — a fugitive for his role in Brown's raid — and a Pennsylvania field hand named Sal.

Some wonky characterization aside, I found it to be a powerful and not-glib exploration of heroism and sacrifice. My review is here.
