Rules for Good Manners in the Modern World

Written by Jean-Luc Lagarce, France’s most popular playwright when he died of AIDS at the age of 38 in 1995, Rules of Good Manners in the Modern World is a satire of middle class niceties — with no story, no characters and no dramatic conflict. It’s a modernist monologue transformed into a postmodernist performance piece.

Don’t miss the cutting edge of Chicago’s vital theatre scene right here on 42nd Street. In the words of The Chicago Sun-Times theatre critic Hedy Weiss, Rules… is “a tight, oddly terrifying yet often hilarious 90 minutes.” (Chicago Sun Times, October 26, 2004). Directed by Zeljko Djukic, artistic director of The Utopian Theatre Asylum (TUTA).
