The peaceful lives of the Ekdal family are turned upside down by an idealistic young family friend. Can the truth liberate two families bound together by a web of secrets? Or will it destroy their delicate hold on happiness? One of the giants of modern theatre, Ibsen created a masterpiece that pairs profound tragedy with surprising comedy. Court Theatre is pleased to return to the beautiful performance space at the Museum of Contemporary Art in the heart of downtown Chicago at 220 E. Chicago Ave. The Wild Duck is the inaugural project of the Barbara E. Franke Commisssioning Program for New Classics, Court’s initiative to create new adaptations and translations of classic texts for the stage.
