Both richly comic and darkly unsettling, Darby’s journey with her daughter and a mysterious peasant woman highlights the Industrial Revolution in Victorian England and its everyday barbarism toward women.

Performances are Friday, Saturday and Monday nights at 8PM, and Sundays at 7PM. Admission is free in Oracle's Public Access Theatre. Seats are sponsored in part by the forty4. THE MAIDS In March, Oracle's Executive Producer Ben Fuchsen directs Jean Genet's absurd masterpiece THE MAIDS, translated by Bernard Frechtman. Loosely inspired by a notorious 1933 murder when two maids brutally killed their employer, Genet's famous depiction of bourgeois society and its abject servants is a portrait of the struggle for power - what it means to possess it and what it means to lack it. Taking a cue from Genet, Fuchsen will work with an all-male cast to explore the paradigm of power expressed in THE MAIDS, and attempt to discover a language for love that is born out of the emptiness of complete servitude. THE MAIDS opens March 10 and runs through April 21. Performances are Friday, Saturday and Monday nights at 8PM, and Sundays at 7PM. Admission is free in Oracle's Public Access Theatre. Seats are sponsored in part by the forty4. THE SANDMAN Max Truax directs a world premiere adaptation of THE SANDMAN by E.T.A. Hoffmann. Bob Fisher (founder and Artistic Director of The Mammals) is commissioned to adapt. Truax’s vision will use cinematic staging to explore the themes of sight and seeing woven into Hoffmann’s complex narrative. Oracle’s production will investigate the inherent narcissism of the voyeur, and will reveal the awful truth that the monster we fear the most is buried deep within our own souls. THE SANDMAN opens May 19 and runs through June 30. Performances are Friday, Saturday and Monday nights at 8PM, and Sundays at 7PM. Admission is free in Oracle's Public Access Theatre. Seats are sponsored by the forty4 and Oracle's Season Sponsor Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. THE RETURN OF RADIO GOGGLES Following the incredible success of THE ORIGINAL RADIO GOGGLES in 2011, the Oracle collective presents a 2nd installment in the RADIO GOGGLES series - THE RETURN OF RADIO GOGGLES. Come to Oracle and gather around the old RCA tube set for an evening of entertainment unlike any other “one-act play cycle” going on in Chicago. Strap on a pair of genuine RADIO GOGGLES, and watch three vintage radio shows come to life. During the the first and second quarter of 2012, Oracle Outreach will produce 2 episodes of old-time radio programs that will tour local senior communities. In the third quarter of 2012, Oracle will produce a 3rd episode for touring, but it will also remount the year’s previous 2 outreach shows at Oracle's storefront theatre for the general public. THE RETURN OF RADIO GOGGLES opens July 14th and runs through August 4th. Performances are Friday, Saturday and Monday nights at 8PM; on Sundays, the show will tour to local senior communities. Admission is free in Oracle's Public Access Theatre. Seats are sponsored in part by the forty4.
