The Chicago Grand Guignol Theater Company makes its debut on Friday, May 1, presenting two classic plays from the original Parisian theater of the macabre:  Tics, or Doing the Deed! and The Final Kiss.

As far as I know, this is the only Grand Guignol happening in the midwest, and as such it’s worth more than a little effort to check out.
