Division Street
Division Street- by Steve Tesich
Chris, a burnt-out sixties radical, has settled in Chicago seeking obscurity as a insurance underwriter. He wants to forget his activist past, but he is besieged by old cronies and unwanted new acquaintances, including a former Black militant who has been surgically reborn as a female cop, a former wife who speaks in sixties rock lyrics, a bomb-throwing Serbian restauranteur , Chris’s former partner in radicalism who now despises the women’s movement, a prostitute who believes in the moral virtues of promiscuity, and Chris’s Black Polish landlady. Mix these volatile ingredients and you have a wild and funny farce.
“Outrageously funny..and updated, satirical Feydeau farce, with all-American politics substituted for all-French Sex.”
