IBSEN IN CHICAGO

by David Grimm

COMEDY/DRAMA

3 WOMEN, 3 MEN

A little known fact: the world premiere of Ibsen’s controversial play, Ghosts took place in Chicago, performed by a group of Scandinavian immigrants. Grimm’s play spins a yarn based on this “great reckoning in a little room,” and explores the immigrant experience and opportunities for self-reinvention against the backdrop of changing artistic and social mores.

“...a wonderful new work that manages to sneak up on you with how engaging and meaningful it is amidst all the laughs…A cavalcade of fantastic characters…a lighthearted new work with tons of humor and an engaging story.”—Broadway World
