The Winner of Chicago's Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Work, Malapert Love is a queer reimagining of Shakespeare's comedies from 21-year old playwright Siah Berlatsky. In coproduction with Chicago's award winning theater company, The Artistic Home and featuring the play's original cast, Malapert Love takes audiences to a farcical, faraway kingdom where personas are concocted, plots are hatched, and paint thinner is sniffed – all for unrequited love!
