The Unmentionables

Bruce Norris, author of The Infidel, Purple Heart, We All Went Down to Amsterdam and The Pain and the Itch has created a work specifically for the Steppenwolf ensemble. In a posh home in a small town in Africa, a wealthy American entrepreneur, flamboyant government representative, young Christian missionary and his girlfriend meet by accident. When one of them goes missing, they are forced to confront their benevolent notions of themselves and the realities of the world they think they control. The result is a stunning comedic effect: hilarious characters with something vital to say.
