”Enormously thought-provoking, delightfully stimulating, and wretchedly heartbreaking, The Mark of Kane is a narrative drama that excels in every way. Beautifully written by Mark Pracht and directed by Terry McCabe, this is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen in a long time. This world premiere production by City Lit Theater is not to be missed!…While the play is a drama, the comedy is riveting, and the timing of the actors is extraordinary!”

“...an incredible play...””

“Highly Recommended
“...an exceptionally well-executed production, that makes this recommended for more than just comic-book lovers….Stripped to its core, Mark of Kane is a darkly woven origin tale leading its viewers well past the safe kitschy territory of the Bat Cave.””

“Recommended
“In City Lit Theater’s entertaining world premiere, directed by Terry McCabe, Josh Zagoren plays Kane as a glad-handing, ascot-wearing dandy who bears a bit of a resemblance to Adam West’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne, Batman’s daylight alter ego, in the 1966-68 ABC TV series Batman….The show benefits greatly from the visual design by G. ‘Max’ Maxin IV and the ominous music by Petter Wahlback—augmented occasionally by the wailing of real-life sirens from Bryn Mawr Avenue outside the theater.””

“Highly Recommended
…one of the greatest and most entertaining works in 20th-century English-language drama…served up “fully flavoured” in City Lit Theater’s boisterous, intimate production.... Director Brian Pastor’s vigorous, imaginative staging features a fine 12-member cast...and their collective mastery of the script’s Hiberno-English idiom is awesome (a word I seldom use).”

“Highly Recommended
…there is much to love about City Lit’s production... Director Brian Pastor’s talented cast and crew breathe life and energy into the distinctly Irish classic. ...the play tells a story of human frailty and the ways people find love, joy, and hope in the places they can.”

“Highly Recommended
Holmes and Watson are effectively embodied by James Sparling and Adam Bitterman... The supporting cast is solid and the design work is atmospheric ... Good dog!”

“Highly Recommended
Definitely grab a ticket. This production...shines... Those who are wary of famous Broadway plays lacking in their transfer to other regions, or the acting suffering...should rest easy...”

[A] gem of a production...”

“Highly Recommended
Deserves as many pairs of eyes on it ... as City Lit can squeeze into its Bryn Mawr black box.”

Let the fun begin ... This is a very funny play ... [one of] the best plays of this type...”

“Recommended
Seeing such variety onstage heightens our awareness of the many constituencies Wilder didn’t contemplate ... his writing manages to accommodate them all just the same ... the ultimate subject of ‘Our Town’ is life and death and the fact that latter comes inevitably to anyone who gets to experience the former.”

“Highly Recommended
A keen and interesting perspective on what life might look like if diverse communities were the norm ... The performances given by this illustrious cast lend an incredible amount of meaning to every action, every line and every cause for celebration or pain ... no character seems to fall into the trap of cynicism or monotony.”

“One of 2016’s Must-See Plays!
