Or, by Liz Duffy Adams Directed by Catherine Weidner October 30-December 4, 2011 (Previews October 28 & 29) Collaboraction Theatre at the Flat Iron Arts Building 1575 N. Milwaukee Ave in Wicker Park Aphra Behn has but a few scant hours to finish her breakthrough play when her ex-lover and fellow spy William Scot appears at her door. His news: there’s a plot to kill her current lover, King Charles II. Orange girl-turned-actress Nell Gwynne is also on hand as a seductive distraction. Can she finish her play and save the king? The CHICAGO PREMIERE of Liz Duffy Adams’ raucous, bodice-ripping comedy.
