November 8-December 9, 2007

Wild, risqué, and ferociously playful, Joe Orton’s classic farce has become one of the seminal works of modern comedy. When a psychiatrist invents a series of increasingly outrageous lies to cover up his attempts to seduce his young secretary, all manner of pandemonium breaks out in the ward. Chicago’s own rising star Sean Graney directs, making his Court Theatre debut.

“Hilarious, outrageous... It dazzles! ... toying with words as if they were firecrackers.” -N.Y. Times

Featuring: Mary Beth Fisher, Joe Foust, Mechelle Moe, Blake Montgomery, Eric Slater, and JB Waterman
