Description: Written and directed by Warren Leming, Cold Chicago featured a stellar Chicago cast. The play,music, and related essays were later printed as a book: Cold Chicago, Kerr Publishing. illustrated by Carlos Cortez. Cold Chicago is a rough guide to a great city, and the crime (the Haymarket hangings) on which it was founded. An imaginative history of the long struggle for the right to unionize and the eight hour day. Music by Warren Leming and Joe Tech, Cold Chicago is, in Studs Terkel's summation of the play:"the best antidote we have for the National Alzheimers." First performed at Chicago's Cross Currents cabaret to honor the 100th anniversary of the Haymarket Trial. A dark, fast paced work in cabaret form Cold Chicago addresses itself, not just to the Ladies and Gentleman, but to the Strangers: and remains a completely unique piece of Chicago's theatrical history. |
