Invisible Man
(773) 753-4472courttheatre.org
$40–$60Working entirely within Ralph Ellison’s own words, playwright Oren Jacoby and director Christopher McElroen distill Invisible Man into a three-act drama that speaks in a language all its own, losing a few of the author’s finer details but making up for them with a vital visual vocabulary and the judicious use of an outstanding ensemble. Each member of the ten-person ensemble shoulders his or her weight, but Teagle F. Bougere puts out a Herculean effort as the nameless title character, fully commanding the stage he essentially never leaves. Attention must also be paid to Alex Koch and his brilliant, vital projection designs. This Invisible Man should be seen far and wide.
