Steppenwolf
In Mia Chung’s form-bending and wildly inventive Catch as Catch Can, three actors take on six roles, bridging generation and gender, in a theatrical tour-de-force that asks what happens when people (or plays) refuse to be bound by the roles they're prescribed. When a prodigal son returns to blue collar New England, his homecoming sets off a spiraling crisis for two families, threatening not only their relationships but their very identities. Spanning hilarity, stunning virtuosity and reality-distorting horror, this ferocious Chicago premiere—led by an all-ensemble cast—defies expectation at every turn.
