Tony-nominee Johanna Day will headline the cast of Noah Haidle's Vigils at Chicago's Goodman Theatre. The play will run from October 14th through November 12th. It will open on October 24th.
Vigils, a play by the author of
Mr. Marmalade, will be directed by Kate Whoriskey (
Fabulation at Playwrights Horizons). In addition to Day (
Proof), it will star Marc Grapey, Steve Key and Coburn Goss.
The show "is a surprisingly funny and wildly imaginative story of love, grief and
the difficulty of letting go. Two years after a fireman died trying to
save a baby from a burning home, his widow is clinging to the
past-literally. She has trapped her husband's soul in a box, and his
body is wandering around aimlessly, ricocheting from one memory to the
next, as body and soul try to come to terms with their actions during
his life. When a handsome wooer arrives on the scene, the widow must
decide between the past she knows and the future she can only imagine," according to Goodman notes.
