Eclipse Theatre's WOMAN IN MIND Opens 4/14

Eclipse Theatre Company (www.eclipsetheatre.com), the only theatre company in the Midwest to feature the works of one playwright in one season, will open their 2013 season featuring the works of Sir Alan Ayckbourn with his dark comedy Woman in Mind, directed by Eclipse Ensemble Member and Goodman Theatre Associate Producer/Artistic Associate Steve Scott.

The 2013 Alan Ayckbourn season opens as the comic poet of middle class life goes deeper and darker in this triumphant play about a housewife named Susan. After being knocked unconscious from stepping on a garden rake, Susan experiences hilarious hallucinations, twisting and teasing into her everyday life, eventually forcing her to question if she is going mad. Woman in Mind runs approximately two hours with one intermission. Postshow discussions with the cast and crew will be held following all Sunday matinees except opening and closing weekends (free with paid ticket).
