Review of Maxwell Anderson play with strong cast
The production features Reeves with eloquence as the doomed hero and Jill Cameron as the fragile princess. David Dwyer and Madelyn O'Neil deliver solid turns while Denise Bessete and Daryl Irene Lee add energy. Elena Gonzalez shines among a mixed result where spoken verse challenges performers.
Cameo's Winthrop Woman salutes Greenwich 350th birthday
Greenwich observes its 350th anniversary with a staged Part III of Anya Seton's The Winthrop Woman at Cameo Theatre. Patricia Brandt wrote and directed the episodic production, featuring Pat Larrabee as Elizabeth Fones Winthrop Feake Hallet. The script ties events to local history, with narration linking scenes from Elizabeth's voyage to Massachusetts Bay and romance with William Hallet, though some critics noted uneven flow and muted inner fire in parts of the performance.

Seton's Play Shines With Hutchinson and Telaka
Elizabeth impresses less than Larrabee in Seton's original piece but Caroline McDonough as Anne Hutchinson gives a luminous single-scene performance. Lynn Munson as Telaka warms the audience with every entrance, while Mary Jane Dodds as Anneke Patrick Feake radiates life and vitality. Gideon Fountain portrays the unstable Robert Feake with strong presence as Jim continues on page 35.
