Overview

A WORLD PREMIERE from the author of Take Me Out and The Violet Hour.

"Each time Steppenwolf tackles a work by Richard Greenberg, the results are extraordinary."
-New City

"Greenberg's particular brand of warped realism is a splendid match for the darting directing style of Terry Kinney."
-Chicago Tribune on The Violet Hour

"Anyone who saw Three Days of Rain knows how adept Greenberg is at crafting compelling characters and how well the folks at Steppenwolf are at bringing them to life."
-New City

Running Time: 1 hour 45 minutes with 1 intermission

"Keeps the head spinning and twisting and the mind objecting, and the spirit, strangely, even desperately, engaged."
-Chicago Tribune

“Greenberg’s beguiling new tragicomic puzzle is the play of the moment.”
-TimeOut Chicago

“Finds the edge right where the blade really cuts in modern life.”
-Chicago Tribune

“Terry Kinney’s careful staging never misses a trick or truth.”
–Chicago Free Press

“First–rate actors who shoot their endless supply of poison-tipped arrows with precision.”
-Chicago Sun-Times

“The performances in both plays are excellent… Director Terry Kinney seems to have gotten just what he wanted out of his talented ensemble… the acting never disappoints.”
-Copley News
