Looking Glass Theatre Presents ETHAN FROME, Closes 4/17

Lookingglass Theatre Company presents the World Premiere of the Lookingglass Original Ethan Frome, directed and adapted from the novel by Edith Wharton by company member Laura Eason. The production closes April 17, 2011 at Lookingglass Theatre Company, located inside Chicago's historic Water Tower Water Works, 821 N. Michigan Ave. at Pearson.

Fervent desire burns just beneath the surface of a snowy New England farm. Stoic farmer Ethan Frome trudges through a joyless marriage with his ailing wife, Zena, until they hire her young cousin to tend to the house. Her vibrant spirit awakens a passion in Ethan that neither of them dare acknowledge.  This classic, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Age of Innocence, is a deeply poetic story about the staggering beauty of true love and the desolation of the unalterable life choices we make.  Award-winning Ensemble Member Laura Eason (Around the World in 80 Days) directs this new, smoldering adaptation.  

Ethan Frome features company members Philip R Smith, Andrew White, Louise Lamson and Lisa Tejero, with Eric Lochtefeld.
