Producer Kathryn Bartholomew and Director David Fehr, spirited members of the Chicago theatre community, open the doors, once again, to Chicago's newest home for authentic theatre going experiences, Linchpin Theatre. Linchpin's next production will be the Chicago Premiere of Other Hands by celebrated British playwright Laura Wade. Wade is no novice to Chicago as her play Breathing Corpses was mounted by Steep Theatre Company in 2008 and was hailed as a 'One of the Top Ten Shows of 2008!' by TIme Out. Other Hands premiered at Soho Theatre in February 2006 to enormous acclaim:

AstonRep Theatre Company's high-quality production of "Wit" packs an emotional punch yet also revels in cleverness. Margaret Edson's Pultizer Prize winning play profoundly deals with the experience of cancer, and the capable actors in the show's ensemble - particularly Alexandra Bennett in the lead role - are up to the challenge. There is much to admire here, but this is an intense theatre experience (and rightfully so when dealing with such a difficult, indescribable topic). "Wit" inevitably spirals towards tragedy, and this sadness looms during the entire 90 minutes of the play.
