Idle Muse Theatre Company to Continue 11th Season with Chicago Premiere of THE SCULLERY MAID
Idle Muse Theatre Company continues their 11th Season in March with the the Chicago premiere of The Scullery Maid written by playwright Joseph Zettelmaier. Idle Muse Artistic Director, Evan Jackson directs. Idle Muse Theatre Company's eleventh season features plays which explores women achieving self-definition in a world that tries to define them in relationship to the men around them.
As King Edward celebrates an uneasy truce with France, the lowliest servant in Nottingham castle, Miriam the scullery maid, initiates a murder plot that will see him dead before the night is done - no matter the cost. Loyalties and conspiracies unravel as a raging tempest sets in, giving rise to new betrayals and unearthing long-buried secrets as Miriam approaches the point of no return. Religious, political and familial identities all clash with storm-like intensity in a medieval thriller that asks: are we defined by our prejudices or can we escape becoming what we hate? The Scullery Maid will run March 16 - April 9, 2017 with previews March 16th and March 17th and will be presented at The Edge Theater, 5451 N Broadway Ave, Chicago, IL 60640.
