Chicago - William Petersen!

Just fixed tickets for William Petersen's summer play at Steppenwolf!

Slowgirl, by Greg Pierce... the play is intriguing by itself, the cast makes it even more a must see!

Another two-hander without intermission, Mr Petersen seems to have found himself a pattern.  So far his choices have worked out nicely,  female character will be played by Rae Gray, director Randall Arney. Randall is new to me, saw Rae last year in the wonderful 'Crooked' at Rivendell Theatre. Slowgirl was probably not on her radar at the time, but it seems her part in Crooked was an excellent precursor for this play.

Looking forward to seeing this one!!


TheaterMania: A Beautifully crafted twohander... audiences will find themselves on the edge of their seats, drawn into an ever-deepening relationship that's pulsing with intensity, confusion and love.


While in Chicago this summer... I'll take in as much good stuff as I can manage, definitely will go see Belleville, also at Steppenwolf (downstairs). written by Amy Herzog, Directed by Ann Kauffman, featuring ensemble members Alana Arenas and Kate Arrington.  


Dubbed a “thrillingly good” drama with elements of a “nail-biting psychological thriller” by The New York Times, Amy Herzog’s play asks unsettling questions about upheaval and the power of a lie.

Looking forward to potential treats is a huge part of the fun!
Currently planning my 'spring break', I hope to spend the last week of April in London, so far 3 plays are booked, I have high expectations of all of them.

and third: The Tempest 


Still contemplating what else to see... strong contender is Dr Glas, also The Weir and Macbeth if I can find tickets or  Long Road, Othello, People, This House... so many choices!
