ZOO STORY
by Edward Albee
FALL 2023
​
New City Stage:
"With this production, the small, low-profile Gwydion Theatre Company—which relocated this year from the West Coast to Chicago and is putting down roots here—demonstrates that it’s willing and able to mount thoughtful, ambitious drama that puts larger theaters to shame. No doubt about it, this is a company to watch."

CAN'T PAY? WON'T PAY!

New City Stage:
"Gwydion made a luminous local debut a couple of months ago with Edward Albee’s “The Zoo Story.” This production reveals the fledgling company’s limitations—but also its theatrical ambition and sheer guts. The intention here is a good one, and if the execution doesn’t quite match, that can be chalked up to experience. I look forward to Gwydion’s next offering."
WAITING FOR LEFTY

Chicago Reader:
"the unbridled passion and commitment of the cast carries the hour-long show along in an exhilarating wave ... So much in this play feels depressingly timely. Yet Kennedy’s production, which fleshes out these working people in small telling details without falling into the trap of hectoring or turning them into cardboard victims, also feels oddly hopeful about the possibility of collective action".
