Check out my first theater review for The L Magazine, of Soho Think Tank's production of Robert Lyons's Red-Haired Thomas at the Ohio Theatre. Though charming and clever at times, its project of interrogating the competing American ideals of democracy and capitalism eventually devolves into fetishism of the former. Democracy isn't so much a topic for debate here (although that's basically exactly what democracy is) as the supposed golden ideal from which our national experiment originated.
