Chains

In the tradition of its Deevy Project, which dusted off plays by the unjustly forgotten Teresa Deevy, Mint Theater Company continues its series Meet Miss Baker, which presents the American premieres of three works by the early-20th-century English playwright Elizabeth Baker. Her breakthrough 1909 drama, Chains, explores the quiet desperation of a family in crowded house in suburban London. Jenn Thompson directs the same cast of 15 actors who had been scheduled to perform the play in 2020, when COVID got in the way.
