We Have Always Lived in the Castle

Here Are Some Plays We Like is back with six all-new readings. Closing out the season: We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson, adapted for the stage by Paul Edwards, directed by Nate Brimner Smith

Scandal forced the Blackwood sisters and their invalid uncle into seclusion from their rural New England community. The three remain happily isolated from the outside world until the unexpected arrival of an estranged relative, which forces them into a confrontation with everyone and everything they had sought to avoid in the first place. We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a compelling exploration of provincialism, the dark side of family ties, and the supernatural.

Here Are Some Plays We Like is half play reading, half party, and all one-of-a-kind theatre experience. We're bringing artist-driven theatre to Chicago for our fourth year and putting on...well...some plays we like. Doors open at 6, show starts at 6:30. So come out, see a play, have a drink with us, and stick around to party after!
