Sweet William and Valentine's
"A large-spirited salute to the Bard, Michael Pennington’s one-man show is a perfect blend of biography, analysis and performance. Pennington’s career as one of Britain’s leading Shakespearean actors spans more than 40 years, including some 20,000-plus hours onstage performing Shakespeare for the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre and his own award-winning English Shakespeare Company."

Seafarer at Steppenwolf
"It’s Christmas Eve, and middle-aged loser Sharky is doing his best to stay sober and look after his literally blind-drunk older brother Richard. Their buddy Ivan keeps accidentally having a few pints too many to avoid his unhappy marriage. When Sharky’s frenemy Nicky shows up for a poker game with a new acquaintance in tow, the stakes are higher than you’d think.
....And oh, what an ensemble: The interplay among Francis Guinan’s self-loathing Sharky, John Mahoney’s blithely selfish Richard and Tom Irwin’s smooth-talking Mr. Lockhart grounds the play in moral realism. The powerhouse acting displayed by Arney’s cast infuses McPherson’s fable, even with the playwright’s pat twist ending that’s visible from miles away, with an urgency that has us on the edge of our seats."
