Wounds to the Face
Royal George Theatre

1641 N. Halsted Chicago
In a series of comic and tragic vignettes, Wounds to the Face examines the many faces we present to each other, the pain and humor we experience in finding these features, and the choices we make to change, obliterate, switch or simply accept these facets. With powerful poetic language and flexible use of time and space, Barker avoids simplistic stereotypes to create a work which reaches far beyond the standard notions of disfigurement, human beauty and public image to explore the elusive quality we call identity.
