Things at "The Artificial Jungle", the dilapidated pet store owned by mild-mannered Chester Nurdiger (Ed Jones), are pretty routine. The devoted Mother Nurdiger (David Cerda) does her best to give her son everything he needs, but there are some things a mother just can't provide. Chester's wife, the sultry and stifled Roxanne Nurdiger (Sydney Genco), is as restless as one of the hamsters in a cage, and when Zachary Slade, a mysterious drifter (David Lipschutz) enters the picture, passions run wild. Roxanne and Zachary have the perfect plan to get rid of Chester and live the life Roxanne craves. Combining elements of "Therese Raquin", "Double Indemnity" and even "Little Shop of Horrors", is "The Artificial Jungle" is a masterful mélange of styles that leave no doubt as to why the playwright, the late Charles Ludlam, considered one of the creators of the Theatre of the Ridiculous. It's also the perfect fit for Hell in a Handbag Productions -- Chicago's leading theater dedicated to ridiculousness, camp and parody. See it at Stage 773 [less-]

Following the end of the Civil War, many former slaves took advantage of The Homestead Act and went West to build new lives for themselves and their families. Many of these homesteaders were black women who overcame tremendous odds to work their own land and make a place for themselves in an often harsh and forbidding environment. Set in 1898, Pearl Cleage's "Flyin' West" is the story of some of these African-American female pioneers who settled, together, in the all-black town of Nicodemus, Kansas. "The New York Times" hailed it as "a gripping play ... a paean to women," and now you can see the show at Stage 773 in Chicago. [less-]
