  2. Review: A soul-stirring 'Gem of the Ocean' at the Rubicon Theatre

    “What good is freedom if you can’t do nothing with it?” demands the superb Anthony J. Haney as former Underground Railroad conductor Solly Two Kings in an early defining moment of Rubicon Theatre’s solid and at times soul-stirring revival of August Wilson’s “Gem of the Ocean.”
