This wry, tragi-comic political satire, based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth and its surrealist reimagining Ubu Roi, was originally intended to premiere in March 2020. Illinois Theatre had to suspend performances due to the coronavirus pandemic but is delighted now to digitally deliver Psh*tter! to audiences. This world premiere by noted Goodman Theatre Artistic Associate and Chicago director Henry Wishcamper asks: what happens when greed, corruption, and incompetence rule and when violence has no consequences? The answer is so terrible, you have to laugh out loud, if only to keep from crying. Uncovering the filth that lies at the heart of authoritarian regimes is the first step toward seeing them for what they are, and Psh*tter! does that in poignant, timely ways. Come for the Shakespeare, come for the grime. Come for the madcap hijinks. Come because sometimes, as terrible as things may be, you just have to laugh!
