Upcoming Theater Thursday Events
Thursday, March 4
Orange Flower Water by Craig Wright
BackStage Theatre Company
at the Chopin Theatre
1543 W. Division Street, Chicago
After years of maintaining a close, platonic friendship, David and Beth begin an inescapable love-affair with heartbreaking consequences. Through a series of theatrical, voyeuristic scenes which all take place on or around a single bed, we see the painfully intense unraveling of both troubled marriages and, eventually, the construction of a very fragile but authentic new beginning for everyone concerned. Written by one of the most promising young playwrights of this generation, Craig Wright’s Orange Flower Water is an unsparing but ultimately hopeful examination of the unremitting need that humans beings have for one another. After the show, join us for a post show discussion and desserts by Alliance Bakery & Café (1736 W Division, Chicago)
Show begins at 7:30 p.m.
Event begins promptly after the performance
Tickets: $20
