That Face

Directed by Trudie Kessler
(Assoc. Prof., The Theatre School at DePaul University)

The U.S. premiere of Polly Stenham's explosive first play which debuted at London's Royal Court in 2007. This is a savage dissection of a tangled mother-son relationship whereby the only question that matters is: how far will they go to keep each other? A blistering, merciless drama that makes "dysfunctional" sound quaint. You will be hearing more about Miss Polly. See her here first.

In this wicked psychological thriller, the entire, versatile Redtwist space becomes the eerie nooks and crannies of Annie Wilkes' home, and writer Paul Sheldon's prison as he convalesces from a mountainside car crash under the care of his number one sick and obsessed fan.

Incident at Vichy
by Arthur Miller
July 24 thru August 22, 2010

A dazzling debate of social and political ideas from the master dramatist as he elegantly probes the unsolvable dilemma of man's inhumanity to man. Miller's trademark insight, humor, and compassion are on full display as he attempts to deconstruct the human machinery that led to the most disgraceful event in history. Twenty-one characters are huddled in a police station in Vichy, France, and their immersion in this pressure cooker yields a shocking act of transcendent courage and redemption. The large cast features many Redtwist actors as we wrap up a truly ambitious, intense season of profound and chilling drama.

Fridays 8pm - $27, Saturdays 4pm - $22, Saturdays 8pm - $30, Sundays 3pm - $27, Seniors/Students: $5 off
