Follow on Google News | ![]() Ghostlight joins with Driehaus Museum to present 'The Shadow of A Doubt' in MarchBy: Ghostlight Ensemble Theatre Co Set at the turn of the twentieth century, The Shadow of a Doubt, explores the issues surrounding social position, remarriage, the roles of women and euthanasia. Replete with Wharton's trademark wit and skewering of Gilded Age manners, the play centers around nurse Kate Tredennis, who marries John Derwent, a widower of one of Kate's former patients and friends. Elevated into society through her marriage, Kate is a model wife and stepmother, but she feels uneasy with her new position and faces constant scrutiny for her lowlier background. Soon, her unease is manifested when a man from her past casts suspicion on Kate and accuses her in the first Mrs. Derwent's death. The reading runs about 90 minutes with an intermission. A brief talkback will follow. The staged reading takes place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, in the Nickerson Ballroom at the Richard H. Driehaus Museum (40 East Erie St., Chicago, IL 60611). More information is available on The Shadow of a Doubt show page here: https://www.ghostlightensemble.com/ End
