Today we have our weekly review from Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck. This week she explores Babbitt starring two-time Tony award winner Matthew Broderick. The play is a stage adaptation of Sinclair Lewis’s politically satirical critique of the American dream.

Babbitt runs through November 3 at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington.
