About the Event
Theatre Y, after their Jeff Award-winning production of Ionesco's RHINOCEROS, returns with the Chicago premiere of THE END OF REALITY.
"The End of Reality" is [Richard Maxwell's] most eloquent statement to date on the blurring of despair and apathy in American lives. - Ben Brantley, The New York Times.
Directed by Co-Founding Artistic Director Melissa Lorraine, THE END OF REALITY features North Lawndale's own Marvin Tate, Willie Round, and Shawn Bunch, together with Ensemble Members Matt Fleming, Kris Tori, and Arlene Arnone.
Theatre Y, after their Jeff Award-winning production of Ionesco's RHINOCEROS, returns with the Chicago premiere of THE END OF REALITY by Richard Maxwell, one of the most important voices in the landscape of US experimental theater. In Theatre Y's immersive interpretation of Maxwell's wry hyperrealist satire, a ragtag crew of security guards protects a building from an imminent threat, wavering between vigilance and distraction.
Known for his subversive interrogation of realist aesthetics, Maxwell's script blurs the mundane and the existential in an urgent meditation on the “banality of violence and the true nature of security” (critic Georgia Kirtland).
