Hunchback, Redmoon Theatre, through Feb. 3. This clever condensation of Victor Hugo’s epic novel utilizes puppets, masks, pop-ups, music and other devices that tickle the imagination to give life to the tale of good, evil and lust in Medieval Paris. SCM
Requiem for a Heavyweight, Shattered Globe at Victory Gardens Greenhouse, through March 8. A rare Chicago revival of the all-too-realistic drama by Rod Serling, before The Twilight Zone, about a washed-up boxing champ turned into a wrestling “character.” JA
The Turn Of the Screw, Writers Theatre, through March 30. Neo-gothic spinsters menaced by phantoms in old country houses are a dime a dozen, but is our heroine really as innocent as we—and author Henry James—imagine? See what you think! MSB.
