The land of Never-lack April 21-May 15 @Frontier Thtr Chicago
Land of Never-Lack combines W.B. Yeats’ Land of Heart’s Desire with a new story written by Harold Jaffe and Gwen Kelly-Masterton in a melange of dream-like bittersweetness and energetic whimsey. In 18th Century Sligo, newlywed Maire wishes for an escape from her stifling new life-- could the strange child that arrives at her in-laws house be the answer? Meanwhile, elsewhere and elsewhen, a mischevious Sprite gets more than she bargained for when she tries to “replace” Siobhan, the human child she kidnapped by accident.
Directed by Gwen Kelly-Masterton and features returning cast members Gabriel Howard (The Dark Is Light Enough, As You Like It, The Tragedy of Lear), Sandra Howard (The Tragedy of Lear), and Stephen McClure (Andromache, As You Like It, Sudden Vanishings); new faces Michael Dwiggens, Gabriela Fernandez, and Therin Miller; the design talents of Kristen Ahern (Costume), Rebecca Bartle (Lights), Christina Hubbard (Set) and Ben Masterton Sound); and original music by Ben Masterton (As You Like It), The Land of Never-Lack will run April 21- May 15 2016, at the Frontier Theatre, 1106 W Thorndale Ave, Chicago, IL.
