A Few Good Men, Raven Theatre, through Jan. 28. In 1990, America had more to fear from corrupt American military officials than from foreign terrorists, but in Aaron Sorkin’s smart military courtroom play the Good Guys win—THIS time. MSB
Iraqtile Dysfunction, Second City, open run. In its 92nd revue, a savvy ensemble pokes irreverent fun at the religious right, corrupt politicos, the middle class and more. It’s all tried-and-true stuff, but with the lunatic humor the company is known for. RR
The Misanthrope, Bruised Orange at Prop Theatre, through Feb. 5. Don’t wait for Remy Bumppo’s Tartuffe to see why Ranjit Bolt is the most in-demand translator of Moliere since Richard Wilber. (But dress warm—the Prop’s back room is a chilly one.) MSB
Pericles, Goodman Theatre, through Feb. 12. Director Mary Zimmerman is sure to bring her signature amalgam of visual and aural delights to Shakespeare’s grand, romantic soap opera, one of his most fanciful action-adventure plays. JA
