"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

"...a tribute to Charles Newell's fluid, sensitive direction--which bears a distinctly Gaelic accent, but more than a touch of Chekhov, too--and to his cast of 13 actors and five onstage musicians...who have embraced this story of the fragility of existence with their hearts embroidered on their sleeves."

"Long after the show's 98 seamless minutes have ended, you remain suspended in its afterglow--warmed and chilled at the same time, and surprised by the way its emotional undertow has overtaken you."

From Albert Williams
Chicago Reader

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...James Joyce's The Dead is filled with haunting moments and powerful performances...as unforgettable as anything I've seen in nearly 40 years of Chicago theatergoing. "
