“Turret” is Levi Holloway’s stunning new play making its World Premiere with A Red Orchid Theatre, and playing at The Chopin Theatre thru June 22^nd.

This is a stunning, futuristic, science fiction-esque story that will have you gripping at the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Two men, Green and Rabbit, survive an apparent world-ending event and are surviving in a deep underground facility somewhere in the wild woods of the Pacific Northwest. The men hide away from horrible forces located outside their haven, and the plot presents a loop of “endless tomorrows,” that becomes a bit more clear by the play’s end. It’s about masculinity, love, loss and isolation….hard to describe yet incredibly entertaining.

Michael Shannon best known for “Boardwalk Empire,’ “Knives Out,” “George and Tammy” and countless other credits on the big screens, small screens and Broadway returns again to the theater he helped found. His performance is beyond words and he is in the show until June 19^th at which time co-star Lawrence Grimm takes the role. Make no mistake, all three actors, including the amazing Travis A. Knight who plays Rabbit are each worth the price of admission. You do NOT want to miss this show!!

The Chopin Theatre is located at 1543 W. Division in Chicago….Tickets can be purchased at the theater’s website at: www.aredorchidtheatre.org.
