Once upon a time, a director told a group of young students of the theater to, "keep it simple, stupid." I know it happened cause I was there.

Sticking to theater, though, Counter-Productions Theatre Company's current production of Speed-The-Plow is another good example of why simple is better.

I'm a big fan of the works of playwright David Mamet, and with his play, SPEED THE PLOW, he takes aim at the cutthroat world of Hollywood. It's a fascinating look at what sells and what doesn't when you're talking about the big screen. And, it also shows how friendships can be pushed to the brink by perceived betrayals. Marked by solid performances from the cast, the play is funny and telling in equal measure. The current production by The New Jewish Theatre is nicely constructed and executed, as well as providing ample food for thought.
