| Caroline Treadwell as Ismene in Dream Theatre Company's 'Ismene'
Dream Theatre Company presents the world premiere production of "Ismene," written by Chicago playwright and ensemble member Jeremy Menekseoglu. The show will run Friday, Jan. 9, through Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Journeymen Theatre in Holy Covenant Church, 925 W. Diversey Ave. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15. To reserve tickets please call (773) 865-4486.
Eleven months after the death of Antigone and the madness of King Creon, all is still not well in the city of Thebes. When a chorus of thousands appears outside the bedroom window of Ismene (Antigone's sister and the only surviving member of the tragic house of Oedipus) and blame her for their own miserable lives, she is unjustly banished far away to a school for unruly girls. It is within this school's dark and irreverent walls that the true nature of prophecy is revealed, and the final act of the tragedy of Oedipus and his children unfolds.
