US PREMIERE!
Dublin, 1850: The delicate balance at the heart of an affluent Dublin couple’s marriage and family business is challenged when two visitors come to Ireland to speak to the public about trade, money and slavery. Exploring the dark side of global commodities like sugar, the play asks the question: if your wealth is built on exploitation, can it really be used to build a better world?
Running Time: 2-1/2 hours with intermission

COVENANT at Goodman Theatre in the Owen

Sat, May 16 · 2:00 PM CDT

Goodman Theatre, 170 N Dearborn St, Chicago, IL, US

COVENANT
by York Walker
Directed by Malkia Stampley

“Everybody got a secret.”

Expect one devilish twist after another in Covenant, a mythic and suspenseful new play hailed as “blackout-and-blood-curdling-scream deliciousness” (New York Magazine), “undeniably spooky (and) absolutely enjoyable” (TheaterMania). He left the small Georgia town a struggling guitarist—and returned a blues star. As rumors of a darker deal abound, it becomes clear that he’s not the only one with a secret…or seeking salvation. This “striking Southern gothic work” (New York Times) explores the power of belief and the thin line between rumor and truth.

Running Time: 1 hour 30 minutes. No intermission.
