A current production at Chicago's Steep Theatre Company, directed by Assistant Professor of Theatre Robin Witt, has received excellent reviews. “Brilliant Adventures,” by British playwright Alistair McDowall, opened July 9 and runs through Aug. 15. Time Out Chicago praised "Robin Witt’s crack staging," while Newcity Stage noted her "creative fearlessness."
Witt, who is a Steep ensemble member, has directed many of the theatre company’s most successful British imports, including Simon Stephens' “Motortown,” “Pornography” and “Harper Regan;” Dennis Kelly's “Love and Money;” Jez Butterworth's “Parlour Song;” and Laura Wade's “Breathing Corpses.” Her “Harper Regan” is still the best-selling show in Steep Theatre history and was named one of the Top 10 shows of 2010 by the Chicago Tribune and Timeout Chicago.
