Spirits To Enforce
by Mickle Maher
ABRAHAM WEREWOLF
September 6 – September 29, 2012
Now that their arch-nemesis, Professor Cannibal, is locked away in a correctional facility, twelve superheroes— The Fathom Town Enforcers— have taken up residence in a secret submarine to tackle the most critical work of their crime-fighting mission… fundraising. The Enforcers’ plan? To stage a “superheroic” benefit performance of William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”. Seriously. Infused with comic book lore, choral arrangement and text from Shakespeare’s beloved masterpiece, Mickle Maher’s “Spirits to Enforce” is an utterly unique theatrical trip.
"An intriguing cacophony. A sheer delight!
- Time Out
"Highly recommended. Gus Menary's production for Abraham Werewolf is packed with spirited comic performances.
- Chicago Reader
"This show is amazing! It’s like “The Tempest” fell into a vat of toxic waste and now has the power to make us laugh… really hard."
- Chicago Theatre Beat
