The Derbyshire sisters are back to wreak their macabre humor and malice in Strange Tree Group’s revival of Emily Schwartz’s The Dastardly Ficus and Other Comedic Tales of Woe and Misery. See these suspicious spinsters deal with tales of severed heads, lemon pound cake, cat funerals and other eccentric incidents that would bring joy to the hearts of late cartoonists Edward Gorey and Charles Addams. The Dastardly Ficus … plays 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays until April at the Chopin Theatre, 1543 W. Division. Tickets are $20-$40; call 773-598-8240 or visit www.chopintheatre.com. Photo of Carol Enoch and Nancy Freidrich in The Dastardly Ficus… courtesy of Matthew Chaboud
