Comedy and Drachma: Genesius Guild's “Plutus,” at Lincoln Park through July 28
Saturday, in the park; it's already the end of July. It was a comfortable, comparatively cool evening on July 20 – mid-70s, low humidity – and I was in Rock Island's Lincoln Park to see Aristophanes' Plutus. This evening of slapdash mayhem was inflicted by Genesius Guild, the revered Shakespearean/classic Greek Quad-Cities theatrical institution since 1956, in cooperation with directors T Green and Calvin Vo, founders of Haus of Ruckus, the merry pranksters who first united in 2022 to concoct creative, original theatre. (Not to insinuate that hallucinogens are involved, but experiencing their productions might make you think you'd had some.)
