The Elder Son presented by Bluebird Arts at Athenaeum Theatre

The premiere English-language production of this acclaimed Russian work by beloved playwright Alexander Vampilov comes to Chicago's Athenaeum Theatre courtesy of Bluebird Arts. The Elder Son cleverly tells of love and loneliness, mutual understanding and vulnerability, and explores the desperate need for every person to belong. A case of stolen identity and a confluence of circumstances leads to a hilarious misunderstanding, changed lives and ultimately true love.
