Katori Hall's vastly entertaining & smart new play "The Hot Wing King" @SignatureTheatr features great dialogue, interesting characters, a talented acting ensemble & expert direction. The play explores black gay male relationships in ways that few plays are able to accomplish. Even after 140 swiftly passing minutes, I did not want this play to end, as I wanted to spend more time with its multi-faceted characters. I have admired much of Ms. Hall's previous work, and this play ranks among her best. Highly Recommended
By contrast, I was greatly disappointed in Roundabout Theatre's revival of Charles Fuller's Pulitzer winning drama "A Soldier's Play." Director Kenny Leon tries to add some contemporary flourishes to this rather old fashioned and dated play, but some odd directorial choices and inconsistent acting quality make this a mediocre revival, at best. Not Recommended
