Overview

WORLD PREMIERE

“It’s totally familiar but dreamlike at the same time,” says one misguided American in Amsterdam’s Red Light District. Escaping their lives in Manhattan, former college buddies Matt and Davis take off to the Netherlands and find themselves thrown into a bizarre love triangle with a beautiful, young prostitute named Christina. The romance they find in Europe is eventually overshadowed with the truth they discover at home. Written with a harsh, poetic beauty, Red Light Winter is a stunning new work by the Pulitzer prize-nominated author of Blackbird and Nocturne.

NOTE: Contains explicit sexual situations.

Red Light Winter traveled to the Barrow Street Theatre New York in the winter of 2006. Find out more about our productions that have traveled beyond Chicago.

Running Time: 2 hours 25 minutes with 1 intermission

"This ensemble captures this play's banged-up heart. The acting is superb."- Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

"Could and should move to Off-Broadway exactly as is."- Chris Jones, Variety
