Redtwist Theatre's OPUS Extends to 1/29

Opus is the uniquely fascinating story about a world-class string quartet. The musical ensemble is in the midst of a bitter clash of wills between the two leaders of the group-one the artistic genius, the other, the business guru. One stays as the group leader and ousts the other. The replacement is a young woman, fresh out of school, and the evolution of the group takes several unexpected turns en route to a riveting conclusion. Featuring a bedrock of compelling "family" dynamics, Opus is a gripping piece of drama punctuated by a brilliant musical score. It was one of the most produced plays in the U.S. in 2009, and Redtwist has the Chicago premiere.

The cast includes Redtwist company member and Jeff Award-winner BrIan Parry, along with Paul Dunckel, John Ferrick, Michael Sherwin, and Emily Tate.
