  • Oedipus at Studio 54: Mark Strong, Lesley Manville, and a Modern Political Tragedy

    Oedipus at Studio 54: Mark Strong, Lesley Manville, and a Modern Political Tragedy
    Dec 11 2025
    In this episode of Half Hour, we take a deeper dive into the 2025 Broadway production of Oedipus at Studio 54, directed by Robert Icke and starring Mark Strong and Lesley Manville. We break down the plot and concept, looking at how the production reframes Sophocles’ tragedy as an election-night political drama and what that does to the story’s sense of inevitability and fate. The conversation covers the direction and translation, the use of contemporary political language, and how the staging shapes the tension of the evening. We discuss the scene work, highlight standout moments from Strong and Manville, and consider whether modernizing a classic in this way clarifies or complicates its themes. We also speculate on where this production might go after its New York run and what it suggests about the future of updating Greek tragedy for Broadway audiences.

    Messy White Gays: Satire, Farce, and Privilege Off Broadway
    Dec 8 2025
    In this episode of Half Hour, we take a closer look at Messy White Gays, the new Off-Broadway play by Drew Droege, directed by Mike Donahue, and set in a Hell’s Kitchen apartment on a disastrous Sunday morning. We unpack the plot and concept, from the premise of Brecken and Caden hiding their throuple mate’s body in a credenza to the show’s use of satire, farce, and niche queer comedy. We also discuss direction, design, costumes, and the performances, considering how Messy White Gays fits into the current Off-Broadway landscape and where it might go next.

  • Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York): Rom-Com Rules, Cake Runs, and Tony Awards Buzz

    Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York): Rom-Com Rules, Cake Runs, and Tony Awards Buzz
    Dec 4 2025
    In this episode of “Half Hour”, we take a deeper dive into the Broadway musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), now playing at the Longacre Theatre. We unpack the show’s rom-com structure, how the title frames the central journey across New York, and where the book and concept land for us. We also examine the contemporary score by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan, the production’s direction by Tim Jackson, and the scenic and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, alongside lighting by Jack Knowles and sound design by Tony Gayle. Performances from Sam Tutty as Dougal and Christiani Pitts as Robin are front and center as they consider chemistry, character arcs, and how this production might factor into this year’s Tony Awards race, including the possibility of future stunt casting.
