BREWED by Scott Barsotti
Co-Presented by The Ruckus and Tympanic Theatre Company World Premiere

Highly Recommended FOUR STARS Time Out Chicago
"Haunted by past trauma and resentment, the six sisters fight bitterly over their burden while holding their family together. Brewed creates a thoroughly twisted fantasy world, but the conflict is all in the relationships, grounding this dark and gritty take on gender roles, fairy tales and family drama." Time Out Chicago "Barsotti has a first-rate director on his side in Anna C. Bahow, who has cast this Ruckus-Tympanic Theatre co-production with an expert eye. The actresses so look as though they might share a gene pool, [ ] abrasive and acrid, with an undercurrent of deep, abiding something for one another (certainly something more complicated than love). Not for a moment do you doubt that they were raised together in the same incredibly dysfunctional home. Grounding their weird, pathological pragmatism in truth, Dana Black and Erin Myers are both giving the performances of their lives." Nina Metz Chicago Tribune |
