The Hunting Of The Snark at Strawdog Theatre

Let's Play at ChicagoNow - Recommended

"...This show skillfully actualizes the preposterous nature of Carroll's poem. It's color-out-of-the-lines classic literature. For me, THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK was like going sober to the Gay Pride Parade. Although I appreciate the colorful spectacle, I'm not having as much fun as the merry revelers on the hunt. Undeniably, this cast is enjoying chasing a snark. Boojum!"

"...Strawdog Theatre Company is an Ensemble, located on Broadway ( our Broadway, not that of New York) and has done some wonderful work over the years. This being said, they are doing some new things in their "cabaret" theater located next door to their main stage at 3829 N. Broadway, second floor. This room is called Hugen-Halll, a very intimate space with about 44 seats and stools and a bar, where the performers work the room. What they are doing now is a 55 minute interpretation of "The Hunting of The Snark" written by Lewis Carroll. This is a poem filled with nonsense words where we go on a voyage with the assortment of players to a peculiar land in search of Snarks. There is nothing that could offend in this nonsensical poem that this company brings to life with great energy as directed in this small space by Josh Sobel, utilizing the small space to its best advantage."
