Theater review: Guthrie hosts richly entertaining ‘Born With Teeth’ from Alley Theatre

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:41:46 GMT

It all started when a group of scholars announced they’d proven that Shakespeare’s “Henry VI” cycle was created in collaboration with another playwright, Christopher Marlowe. When a contemporary American dramatist, Liz Duffy Adams, got wind of this, she set her ample imagination to work on what that partnership might have looked like.The result is the richly entertaining and insightful “Born With Teeth,” which places us in the writing room where these two great Elizabethan authors toiled together. It debuted last May at Houston’s Alley Theatre and now that production has come north to spend March in the Guthrie Theater’s proscenium space.Overflowing with wit and deftly exploring matters of the heart, mind and spirit, it’s a brilliant script that’s receiving a terrific staging. With magnetically charismatic performances in the roles of the two writers, taut direction and expertly executed design ideas, “Born With Teeth” crackles with tension, yet is often uproariously funny.Ostensibl...

Surfing in Minnesota is just like surfing in Southern California, John Jenkins says, as long as you ignore the icicles on your wet suit.Jenkins, 38, is a child of California’s Orange County. But a decade ago, looking to escape overpopulation and intensifying wildfires, he took a chance and settled in Duluth, where temperatures can dip 30 degrees below zero.Hundreds of like-minded new residents have since joined him, coming from California, Colorado and New Mexico and changing the face of this erstwhile manufacturing town on the western edge of Lake Superior. Dubbed “climate-proof Duluth” in 2019 by Jesse Keenan, a Tulane University professor who was lecturing at Harvard at the time, Duluth has been hailed for its ample supply of freshwater, as well as its location — buffered from sea-level rise in the Upper Midwest — and temperatures, which run mild in the summer and colder than cold in the winter.Climate migrationThe majority of the population growth in the United States remains in...
