"Proof" needs more focus on math culture
The Sunset Playhouse stages "Proof" through Feb. 19. It's really too bad that the story of a mathematician couldn't focus a bit more on . . . math. As a drama, though, it has its own life beyond the setting.

Production aside, the quality of the performances vary a great deal during Sunset Playhouse's "Holiday." Some performances are completely flat while others have great emotional depth.

"A Murder Is Announced," is one of Agatha Christie's most tightly-wound plots . . . not difficult to disagree with after having seen Leslie Darbon's stage adaptation of the novel at the Sunset Playhouse.
