Vintage Political Humor Sounds Familiar | Podcast Theater Review | Chicago

Before the age of TV and the Internet, people looked to the theater for entertaining political commentary the equivalent of Stephen Colbert, The Daily Show, or Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update.

These three pithy well-performed one-act plays directed by Beth Wolf and presented by Artemisia Theatre as “The Suffrage Plays” provide insight through a good deal of levity and snarky repartee giving voice to the debate that one hundred years ago provided women with the right to vote.

The ensemble includes Megan Delay, Ross Frawley, Lucinda Johnston, Tom McGrath, Vijay Sarathi, and Brittani Yawn.

“The Suffrage Plays” by Artemisia Theatre are performed at The Den (Third Floor), 1331 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL, through November 24, 2019. Running time is 2 hours with one intermission.
