Edward Crosby Wells' FLOWERS OUT OF SEASON*
Presented by People's Theater of Chicago
Directed by Madrid St. Angelo
At the: EP Theater 1820 S. Halsted, Chicago

"I think I have just seen the future of American Theatre.”
—Michael Bourne, Circle Repertory Company

“Spiritually barren lives given meaning by fundamentalist religion. Comfortable lifestyles devoid of passion. And the finality of the gun. All reflect what happened to American values . . . and they form the subject of Edward Crosby Wells’ challenging new play, Flowers out of Season . . . one of the best things this innovative theater has done.”
—Jeff Bradley, Denver Post

*This play contains violence, sexual themes and language. There are also gunshot sound effects.

Oi! Listen up, you stupid fucking wankers who ain't yet come to the fucking party! Please read on for our SHOCKING press, you cunts. But know, first, that we are offering unconscionable fucking industry rates for tonight (Sunday, April 22) and all of next weekend (Thursday, April 26 - Sunday, April 29) at gang-raped-toddler-level prices. $10 for individual tickets or two-for-one for couples--that's $15 for two people, ya cheap artistic fucks. Just mention that you're industry in making the reservations (preferably) or at the door (if you're a last-fucking-minute kind of twat). Oh, right, and here's what the fucking press have been parading about town concerning us. Enjoy!

The reviews are in!!!
Here are a few zingers...

"Mercury Fur makes A Clockwork Orange look like cheery children's theatre."

"Sophocles himself couldn't have asked for a more viable catharsis."

"Outlandish and entertaining."

"Utterly raw."

"Bleak, brutal, uncompromising drama."

"All is chaos, and in this instance, it is a chaos worth seeing."

And also...

Chicago Reader
"Greg Beam's pressure-cooker production is tailor-made for the
intimate space where it's performed, and the energetic ensemble, led
by James Errico and Brian Kilborn, is appropriately intense and
scary."
"Highly Recommended!"
http://www.chicagoreader.com/listings/static/listings.html#68


Chicago Tribune
"The show works -- largely due to the layered performances of the
company and Greg Beam's modulated direction. Buried within the
gruesome narrative are pustules of humor, and Beam and cast gleefully
lance each one."
"All is chaos, and in this instance, it is a chaos worth seeing."

The reviews are in:


"Backed by moody live music, the outstanding ensemble cast brings the play to life with a grim reality that enhances Shepard's precise, intelligent writing" ~ Chicago Sun Times - Highly Recommended

"Nic Dimond's careful direction of an outstanding cast nails Shepard's inimitably American poetry, backed by an impeccably modulated live band." ~ Time Out Chicago - Recommended, Critic's Pick


"...their carefully styled performances make for an engaging, well-paced two hours." ~ Chicago Reader - Recommended

Hope we see you there!

From November 13, 2002 to November 12, 2003, playwright Suzan Lori Parks wrote a play a day for a year. From 2006-2007 theatre companies all over the country are producing these plays in a grand theatrical celebration, with no charge for the audience.

Sansculottes , in co-production with MOB Productions, Pavement Group, Manifest and Morning After Company bring you Week 21 of 365 Days/365 Plays.

Park's short plays range from pop-saturated silliness, to politics, to meditations on life, the universe and everything.

A writing collective assembled by Sansculottes wrote short plays in response to Parks' plays in Week 21, and all of these plays will be performed in a fantastic one-night event. DJs will spin before, between and after performances. Don't miss it.

There are performances at both 8pm and Midnight so you have very little excuse not to come.
