Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News The first time I sat through Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" was at The Old Globe five years ago, Feb. 18, 2018. I rated it 7 out of 10. Fast forward to Feb. 13, 2022. "Life Sucks" is the repenned version by playwright Aaron Posner, albeit it still feels like a clichéd version of the original play by the "world's greatest playwright," Anton Chekhov, written about 1890. Strong words, I know. Yet, said, there is little to...

Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News Playwright Simon Stephens is a professor of scriptwriting at Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK. It is one of his recent works I observed this afternoon, Sunday, Jan. 30. From the little I've observed by this production, Stephens has a very high opinion of himself coupled with a monumental ego. The first evidence that this was gonna be a stinker is the name of the production, "Heisenberg." Werner Heisenberg is...
