Heads in Chicago this Summer

June 11 through July 18, 2009:

The Alcyone Festival '09

Playing with the notion that women only write small domestic dramas, this year Halcyon Theater picked a theme as far away from that as possible: terrorism, the cult of martyrdom and its effects upon the innocents. The Alcyone Festival 2009 features six phenomenal writers from across the globe in rotating repertory. For more info: halcyontheatre.org/alcyone09

HEADS, by EM Lewis

A British Embassy worker, an American engineer, a network journalist and a freelance photographer are held captive in Iraq; as death draws close, each hostage must decide what he’ll do to survive. *Heads will be a Chicago Premiere
