When the Walls Have Ears, by Chicago playwright David Hauptschein, is a startling drama about an American family on the verge of collapse. The story revolves around the Kratskies, who are hurled into a world of the inexplicable, where random violence and insane conspiracy theories explode the fabric of their quotidian lives. Award-winning playwright David Hauptschein makes his latest exploration into the outer reaches of the human consciousness as he examines the extremes to which our imagination will go when confronted with what is inexplicable in our lives.
