7 Minutes to Live presented by Unexpected Theatre Company at Chicago Dramatists

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...In Jonathan Demme's 1986 anti-screwball comedy, Something Wild, Jeff Daniels's straight-arrow yuppie gets his life turned upside down in a scary way by Melanie Griffith's wild child, Lulu. That same spirit animates Chicago writer Richard Lyons Conlon's comedic thriller 7 Minutes to Live-now in a world premiere with brand-new Unexpected Theatre Company (in association with Chicago Dramatists and Prop Thtr)-with a touch of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights thrown in for good measure."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Recommended

"...Part thriller, and part gothic romance with dashes of surrealism – “Seven Minutes” is a strange mash-up of a play. But for an unexpected and entertaining night out, this funny, sexy, action- packed play is well worth discovering."

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...There is nothing like a psychological thriller! Chicago is where we are now viewing the World Premiere of a new thriller/social satire called ” 7 Minutes to Live” written by Richard Lyons Conlon. Last week, he visited with us on my radio show along with one of the performers in this two- act, roughly two hours of intimate theater and storytelling. The producing company of this play, Unexpected Theatre Company, has joined with Chicago Dramatists and Prop Thtr to bring this to town and they are doing the show in one of the most intimate spaces in Chicago, Chicago Dramatists."
