The Goodman Theatre has announced the three productions that will be presented as part of its “New Stages Amplified” series, which features never-before-seen works in modestly-scaled developmental productions presented in the Owen Theatre, October 13-November 20.

Dartmoor Prison by Carlyle Brown, directed by Chay Yew (October 13 – 23) is a journey into Britain’s most notorious holding pen for prisoners of war and domestic criminals during the War of 1812, including “King Dick”–an African American sailor whose life at sea has provided him with remarkable personal freedom at a time when millions of enslaved Africans are still held in bondage.

Chicago Boys by Kathleen Tolan, directed by Ann Filmer (October 27 – November 6) is set in the 1970s in Chicago and Santiago, Chile, and tells the story of Joe, a young American economist who travels to Chile to promote freemarket economics. But when a coup erupts and political power shifts, he quickly finds that theory and practice collide in a very messy world.

Ask Aunt Susan by Seth Bockley, directed by Joanie Schultz (November 10 – 20) is a new comedy about a 20-something man who moonlights as Aunt Susan, an
online guru offering advice to women on everything from boyfriends to back problems.
