Hot Off the Presses

Two new reviews for your reading pleasure:

• Tales of the City, a world premiere musical based on the original series by Armistead Maupin, at ACT
  
• Let Me Down Easy, Anna Deavere Smith's new solo show, at Berkeley Rep

(I spent upwards of a week on one of the reviews and only a couple of hours on the other, but interestingly, I think they're of about the same quality. So much for obsessive mulling and revising!)

Suffice it to say, both productions are very much worth your time.
