Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Shakespeare’s funniest farce comes to life as two sharp-witted women discover they’ve received identical love letters from a cash-strapped knight and decide to turn the tables on him. It is a buoyant and breezy romp filled with disguises, mishaps, and laughs.

In this immersive theatrical event straight from New Zealand, the audience is invited into the back room of Mrs. Krishnan’s convenience store for a joyful celebration of the Hindu festival Onam. As the night unfolds, a beautiful story of transition and community emerges that reminds us of the power of togetherness.

This haunting play with music brings Annie Proulx’s iconic story to life, featuring an original country-folk score performed by an onstage band. Set against the rugged Wyoming wilderness, it follows the complex, decades-long relationship between two ranch hands whose lives are forever changed by a summer on the mountain.
