A new stage adaptation of Christopher Bram's Gods and Monsters is premiering in Chicago. The adaptation is by Paul Oakley Stovall.

I'm wondering what happened with the previous adaptation by Russell Labey. It premiered at the Southwark Playhouse in London in 2015. Did anyone here see that production? I searched the message board but nothing popped up.

It's also the kind of story that might make a good opera.

I went to the Southwark Playhouse show, seats unallocated as ever. It played to three sides, most of the gay men sharpening their elbows to sit on the side that exposed the most flesh. It wasn't hugely memorable aside from the memorably huge.
