Chains at the Mint Theater - Theater Row

[skynyc]

Saw an impressive show this weekend, which is around for one more week. Written in 1909 by Elizabeth Baker, it was her first play. Dealing with issues that are still daily conversation today: why do we work in jobs that we hate, having an adventure before settling down, is marriage a trap, what is your duty to your family vs. yourself. The cast is large, 11 characters, and all are terrific. The sets are a marvel...there's a scene change that earned applause.
Deets: bought my ticket on TDF for a discount. 2 hours 15 minutes. Highly recommended for avid theater goers who like strong productions of good plays. If you don't know the Mint's work rediscovering lost and underproduced plays from the early 20th Century, treat yourself to this one.
