“Turret” has been extended by two weeks, now running through June 22 at the Chopin Theatre, according to a Thursday announcement by A Red Orchid Theatre. Tickets ($75) are on sale at 312-943-8722 and www.aredorchidtheatre.org.
The world premiere play is written and directed by ensemble member Levi Holloway and stars Michael Shannon, also a member of the Chicago storefront theater — and has been a hit, selling out its run at the Chopin in Wicker Park days after its recent opening night.
It also stars ensemble members Travis A. Knight and Lawrence Grimm in a dystopic story of two men surviving in an underground bunker until they’re confronted by a stranger. From June 19-22, according to the announcement, Grimm steps into Shannon’s role, with Drew Vidal joining the production to fill Grimm’s role as the outsider.
