Following a Jeff Award-winning run of the obscure 1947 play Men Should Weep, Griffin Theatre Company brushes the dust off yet another forgotten theatrical gem and executes a brilliant performance with London Wall, a workplace dramedy about a typists' pool set in 1931, when women were still relatively new to the workforce. (The Den Theatre, 1329–1333 N Milwaukee Ave, Friday & Saturday, 7:30pm; Sunday, 3pm. $28–$36)
