A Thousand and One Afternoons in Chicago presented by ACM
In 1921, a young Ben Hecht created a column for the Chicago Daily News later defined by his editor as “journalism extraordinary; journalism that invaded the realm of literature.” His series of poignant short story vignettes of life in Jazz-era Chicago remain a fascinating read today.
Hecht’s fluid prose style and vivid imagery have inspired a dynamic collaboration between Access Contemporary Music and Strawdog Theater. We’ve adapted six of Hecht’s very best stories into a radio play for voices and live music by Seth Boustead and Amos Gillespie, to be performed with live foley sound effects.
This collaborative adaptation will be performed one time only.
