Malapert Love, winner of Chicago’s Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Work, is a bold and hilarious queer twist on Shakespearean comedy from 21-year-old playwright Siah Berlatsky. Reuniting the original cast from Chicago’s acclaimed Artistic Home theater company, the play transports audiences to a whimsical, topsy-turvy kingdom where characters invent new identities, scheme endlessly, and even sniff paint thinner—all in the name of unrequited love. Full of mischief, heart, and outrageous antics, Malapert Love blends classic theatrical tropes with a fresh, irreverent voice.
