Devour
Written by Chelsea Marcantel Directed by Jacqueline Stone Produced by Twenty Percent Chicago
“A stunning world premiere… She’s standing in a prison jumpsuit, armed with a lit cigarette and a practiced sneer, looking as proud and single-minded as Antigone outside the gates of Thebes… Thought-provoking, timely, smart, funny, and sharp.”- Centerstage Chicago
“ Kristen Johnson (Anais) plays it perfectly multi-dimensional. At first, Johnson seems obnoxiously entitled. She is hilariously and pathetically loud-mouthed, demanding and self-absorbed. But that’s not her whole persona, Johnson shows deeply vulnerable snippets of a woman that relates to “Frankenstein.” Johnson forces the audience to care about this socialite-trash.” - Chicago Theatre Beat
