Riveting

Greenhouse Theater Center, Chicago

In the play, Anna examines the roadmap of her life, realizing she may not want to follow such a predictable path. As a museum archivist, she reflects on the historical women she’s studied and laments that her own legacy will be forgotten to memory. In a twist of fate, a ghostly figure from her research comes to her with a proposition – to trade her life for one that will live on forever.

With the direction of Maria Welser, this production explores the complexity of relationships and their intersection with self-discovery, while also confronting historical immorality, honoring female heroism, and finding meaning in ordinary things.
