First Folio Theatre's Season of Passion will continue this February with Design for Living, No?l Coward's comedic masterpiece of two men with a passion for the same woman, whose machinations lead to fireworks, love, and laughter. The NY Times hails Noel Coward as 'the master of impudence and tart whimsy, of plain words that leap out of the dialogue like shafts of laughter. 'Directed by Alison C. Vesely, the production marks the return to First Folio's stage of two of its most popular Artistic Associates, Kevin McKillip (as Leo) and Melanie Keller (as Gilda). Kevin McKillip has appeared in more than a dozen First Folio productions, including the Jeff nominated roles of Richard III, Puck (A Midsummer Night's Dream), and Eustace Bassington-Bassington (in last season's Jeeves Intervenes). He has appeared with numerous Chicago area theaters including the Goodman (The Story), Court (Arcadia), and Famous Door (Early and Often and Ghetto), and spent a year with the Stratford Festival in Ontario, Canada.
