Adapted from Sławomir Mrożek's play by Nicole Wiesner, The Martyrdom of Peter Ohey will be directed by Resident Choreographer Miguel Long, and Managing Director Nicole Wiesner, who codirected the original production in 2022. The Martyrdom of Peter Ohey will play September 19th – 28th, 2024 at Trap Door Theatre, 1655 W Cortland St. in Chicago.

The cast includes Holly Cerney, David Lovejoy, Joan Nahid, Tia Pinson, Kieth Surney, Bob Wilson, and Carl Wisniewski.
A family's life is turned upside down when a tiger suddenly appears in their bathroom. As more and more absurd characters invade their home (a Scientist, a Government Official, a Tax Collector, and more), the family must decide whether or not to give in and join the circus.
Nominated for a Jeff Award for best Original Music in a Play, The Martyrdom of Peter Ohey examines how we cope when the world around us becomes a circus and we are the ones to pay the price.
The Production Team includes J. Michael Griggs (Scenic Designer), Rachel Sypniewski (Costume Designer), Richard Norwood (Lighting Designer), Danny Rockett (Music Composer/Sound Designer), Miguel Long (Choreographer), Kasia Olechno (Stage Manager), Zsófia Ötvös (Make-Up Designer), Michal Janicki (Graphic Designer).
