Chicago's Steep Theatre launches its 15th season with the world premiere of The Cheats, written by Hamish Linklater. Directed by Joanie Schultz, performances begin tonight and run through November 7.

The Cheats, Linklater's second play, is described as follows: "It's the end of October, 2012: John and Anne have two children and a good marriage — they have sex, drive hybrids, and have cut out sugar. But John has been spying on the neighbors, frankly, for a while now, and at 9am, Halloween morning, the neighbors have come for a visit. The Cheats is a play about your marriage, and how it can get f*cked when you forget to lock the front door."

Artistic director Peter Moore, Kendra Thulin, Brad Akin, and Steep managing director Julia Siple make up the play's four-person cast.
