"Heartfelt" Comedy Rag and Bone from Rubicon Theatre Project
Profiles Theatre (Chicago, IL)
Rated 2.4 by 5 members who went.
What happens when one man receives the heart of another? Two brothers, Jeff and George, run The Ladder Store--which is actually a front for their black-market business of buying and selling hearts. This heartfelt (excuse the pun) comedy is about the limits of feeling, and the consequences of either feeling nothing or too much.

More Details
In the world of Rag and Bone, hearts are bought and sold for people who can't feel enough. The play begins when George steals the heart of a poet. The play then follows the poet with no heart; a hooker with a heart of gold; T-Bone, her pimp who feels too much; and the millionaire, who eventually receives the poet's heart and sees a whole different world. Jeff and George have recently lost their mother...but they put her heart into George's body, and all of a sudden he's wearing a dress, drinking martinis and cooking pot roasts.
This production marks the Chicago premiere.
