Dance Review: A Superb Revival of a Stunning Theater and Dance Piece

Drama Review: Shaffer's "Amadeus" Still Thrills In a First-Rate Revival

The Jones company performed a potent full-length dance and theatre piece with grace, vitality, and conviction. It was here in Los Angeles for one night . Kick yourself if you missed it. Thirty years on, it’s still a persuasive, emotive performance piece that lives up to its reputation, as this superb revival proves.

Peter Shaffer’s florid period drama was a huge hit in London and on Broadway in the early 1980s. It holds up well some 45 years on, but the real pleasure in Pasadena Playhouse’s lavish staging is a bravura lead performance from Jefferson Mays.
