Collaboraction presents the Chicago premiere of Carlos Murillo's Dark Play or Stories for Boys. Set in 2004, the play invites the audience into a fantasy universe of online imagination full of young love, yearning -- true pain when chatroom conversations lead to real-world consequences. Nick creates a fictional female Internet identity to befriend Adam, and the two young men are suddenly caught up in a game that ultimately proves that love is not only blind, but can also be blinding. Anthony Moseley directs.

This was a brilliant production superbly acted. With a minimum of props all attention is focused on the actors who all portrayed their characters flawlessly. Just when you think you've seen this plot in previous productions some new twists and turns are presented. Even though this play was written in 2004 it still exhibits timely issues. If you enjoy a well acted play with unexpected situations presented in a small but comfortable venue you won't be disappointed.

Artistically, it was very interesting. The actors did a GREAT job with their roles!!! The light design was excellent. The minimalistic set worked well. The stage direction was quite good. My issue was with the script itself. The writer left/created several holes in the story. I think I'm also a little tired of "teen drama" after No More Dead Dogs & Spring Awakening.
