The Curious Circumstances of Louis Le Prince at Factory Theater

Chicago On Stage - Highly Recommended

"...I have to start this review with a well-earned bravo to playwright Chase Wheaton-Werle and director Becca Holloway, who write in their program note: “And if you leave the theater wanting to Google how much of this could possibly be true, we’ll have done our job.” Mission accomplished—within minutes of leaving The Curious Circumstances of Louis Le Prince at The Factory Theater, I was deep into a Wikipedia rabbit hole."

"...From this bare-bones scenario, playwright Wheaton-Werle has crafted a gripping, thought-provoking play that knocks Edison off his purloined pedestal and reveals the underside of commercially driven science. "There's no second place in the world of invention," declares Louis, who suspects that he may be the victim of industrial espionage and orchestrated, mysterious interference to his patent claims."
