Big business threatens a small town's sense of identity in this Chicago debut
Rebecca Gilman's latest play pits corporations against community in 1970's America. Making its Chicago debut at the Goodman, Soups, Stews and Casseroles examines the ramifications of a big multinational taking over a small town factory. Putting a microscope to American corporate culture, it asks whether the new opportunities it creates is worth a loss of identity.
An understated and very human play, Stews was originally commissioned by St Louis Rep in 2014. This Goodman staging is helmed by Artistic Director Robert Falls.
It's all change for the small town of Monroe in 1970's Wisconsin. The town's cheese factory, for years its biggest employer and a vital hub for the community, has been bought up by the large manufacturer Consolidated Foods, and the word on everyone's lips is 'downsizing'.
For 30-something cheese factory employee Kim, the takeover presents an opportunity. Consolidated Foods offer him a role in management, hoping a friendly local face will ease the locals' fears. His new position threatens to drive a wedge between Kim and his former co-workers, and he must decide if 'selling-out' to corporate America is worth the personal price.
Opening night: 21 May 2016
