Akvavit Theatre's to Present NOTHING OF ME, 3/3-4/3

Chicago's Akvavit Theatre is pleased to present the U.S. premiere of Norwegian playwright Arne Lygre's drama NOTHING OF ME, co-directed by company members Chad Eric Bergman* and Breahan Eve Pautsch*, playing March 3 - April 3, 2016 at Signal Ensemble Theatre, 1802 W. Berenice Ave. in Chicago. Tickets go on sale Sunday, February 14, 2016 brownpapertickets.com. The press opening is Saturday, March 5 at 8 pm.

NOTHING OF ME features company members Bergen Anderson* and Kirstin Franklin* with Paul S. Holmquist and Dan Wilson.

Arne Lygre's new play NOTHING OF ME is a post-modern ghost story. Not long after an unspeakable tragedy, a wife and mother walks away from her entire life for a new relationship with a much younger man. Is she moving on towards a bright new life, or is she sinking deeper into self-destruction? In a playful yet haunting style, Lygre delves into the bond of love, its force and its dead-ends, using ruthlessly telltale dialogue. The play warns us of the danger we are all guilty of when we imprison others within our expectations, through the very love we feel for them.
