Four women share a dressing room. These actresses share a great
love for the theatre and for the work of Shakespeare and Chekhov.
Their own roles on the stage, in the theatre, in their off stage
lives blend, and the resulting conflicts illuminate much of what
compels people into a life in the theatre. As the actresses in the
piece “pretend” to be other people our own notions of
what is true come into question. The Dressing Room has been
one of the most popular plays on the Japanese stage and around the
world since its premiere in 1977. This unique combination of Eastern
and Western theatre makes its Chicago debut as part of the Organic’s
new repertoire.
