Arts in Chicago - "The Story" at the Goodman Theatre

The Goodman Theater stages Tracey Scott Wilson's "The Story" directed Chuck Smith, a play about getting ahead above all else. Yvonne, played by Lizzy Cooper Davis, is a journalist who must decide if her career is more important than someone's life. Davis convincing portrays a journalist who longs for upward mobility regardless of the cost or consequences. The staging is interesting in its usage of multiple dialogs transpiring simultaneously, a metaphor that every story has two sides. Is there truth or only perspective? Runs 5-Mar, 2005 through 10-Apr, 2005. Recommended. 3 Stars ***.
