Rantoul and Die
Rantoul and Die, from hot, young, fearless theater company The Amoralists, is a tense drama about a broken relationship in a deteriorating town.
Theater this intense and risky doesn’t usually earn a lot of favor with critics but this show defied the odds. It’s a New York Times critic’s pick this week.
