Clutter: The True Story of the Collyer Brothers Who Never Threw Anything Out at Greenhouse

Full Price:
$40.00
Our Price:
$15.00 - $20.00

Written by multi-Emmy Award-winning playwright Mark Saltzman, Clutter makes its Midwest premiere at the Greenhouse Theater Center. Based on the compelling true story of the wealthy, reclusive Collyer brothers, who became hoarders in their Fifth Avenue mansion in 1920s Harlem, Clutter is the darkly fascinating story of what happens when one brother goes missing and the other is found dead in his room. All of New York is shocked at what the police find inside the home of these wealthy brothers: junk, trash, clutter -- crammed everywhere, piled up to the ceilings. What turned these old-money aristocrats into compulsively hoarding shut-ins? Who killed Homer Collyer? Where's Langley? And what does their relentless obsession reveal about their lives -- and souls? At turns poignant and witty, Clutter is a lighthearted yet touching true-life mystery. Learn More

I thought the acting was good but to spend $35 dollars a person on a "fair" play that lasts one hour and fifteen minutes is insane.

The reviews I read were not good at all, but I really enjoyed the play! Also enjoyed the open discussion with the writer after the show.

This play lacked depth, plus it seemed to go in circles. The actors were engaging, however there are much better plays in Chicago.

More Information About Botanic Garden

Description

Kate and Jake were married for more than 20 years. Now, recently widowed and faced with the daunting prospect of dating for the first time in decades, the memories of her marriage--some laughter and passion-filled, others frustration-ridden--surround Kate as she reevaluates her choices in this new chapter in her life. Botanic Garden offers a funny and refreshingly unsentimental look at loss, questioning our collective belief that "moving on" is the best medicine.

Directed by Olympia Dukakis
Starring veteran Chicago actors Jim Leaming and Carmen Roman
