THE UNMENTIONABLES by Bruce Norris August 27, 2007

"BLISTERINGLY FUNNY, BEYOND BRILLIANT!" –Chicago Sun Times
"FINE AND FUNNY...INCISIVE COMIC COMMENTARY" –Variety
Bruce Norris’ explosive satire launches the Woolly season after startling audiences during its world premiere at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre. Thanks to their missionary zeal, a motley collection of do-gooder Americans stirs up tension and trouble in an isolated African village. A wealthy entrepreneur, Christian charity workers and a flamboyant government official get caught in a web of good intentions and bad judgments in this scathingly funny and provocative new work.

Directed by Pam MacKinnon
