We haven't had a chance to see their Jeff Recommended production of The Woman in White ourselves yet, but critics are raving.
"Elise Kauzlaric's staging employs clear, creative use of Alan Donahue's scenic design... and her cast is terrific. Lifeline newcomers Bailey and Scrantom make an appealing pair" –Time Out Chicago "A mesmerizing mystery about identity... Violence Designer Greg Poljacik orchestrates gasp-worthy incidents with unexpected and authentic fight scenes." –Chicago Theater Beat "The heavy-lifting duties rest on the spun-steel shoulders of Lucy Carapetyan as the forthright Marian, whose defiance of Christopher M. Walsh's oily Fosco generates a David-against-Goliath frisson to induce shivers of excitement" –Windy City Times
Trapped in a loveless marriage and threatened by a conspiracy of
ruthless men, young heiress Laura Fairlie faces a future of sorrow and
misery. Her only hope lies with her true love, the poor artist Walter
Hartright, and her sister Marian Halcombe, both of whom will risk
everything to protect her. Without the law, society, or money on their
side, Walter and Marian must race against time to free their beloved
Laura and uncover the truth behind the mysterious woman in white that
shares her face. A dark tale of romance and suspense, in a world
premiere adaptation.
Based on the classic mystery by Wilkie Collins Adapted by Robert Kauzlaric Directed by Elise Kauzlaric POST-SHOW DISCUSSIONS |
