The Incurable Theater combines puppetry, masks, live actors, shadowplay, and projections into a unique production inspired by F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent film Nosferatu. The darkly comic tale for adult audiences follows the travails of Count Orlock as he stows away on the Russian schooner, “The Demeter.” In his travels to a foreign land to begin life anew, his debilitating insomnia brings to life his insecurities and nightmares. This new play was written by Jill Summers, whose short stories are frequently heard on Chicago Public Radio’s Third Coast International Audio Festival.
