Promethean Theatre Ensemble will stage the Chicago premiere of BLOOD OF THE LAMB, by Arlene Hutton, a two-woman, Kafka-esque, thriller. In a time about two days from now, Nessa, traveling from LAX to JFK, finds herself diverted to Dallas. Trapped in a room with Val, a lawyer, Nessa just wants to leave on the next plane out. But this is Texas, and Nessa is pregnant and Val is on the phone with legislators who are pulling the strings.
BLOOD OF THE LAMB premiered in 2023 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It received a 2025 Drama Desk Award Nomination for Outstanding Play for its 2024 off-Broadway premiere in 2024.
