Directed by Bell Shakespeare Artistic Director Peter Evans, Shakespeare's seminal revenge tragedy is reimagined for contemporary audiences, transporting them to a wintery Denmark in the 1960s.

Steppenwolf's production of ensemble member Tracy Letts's BUG is positively skin crawling, with magnificent central performances from Carrie Coon and Namir Smallwood that make the play all the more unnerving. While Letts's 1996 play may have seemed far-fetched and ahead of its time when it debuted in the nascent days of the internet, it reads eerily prescient now. BUG's dual exploration of paranoid schizophrenia and government surveillance becomes even more unsettling in the current digital era.
