A music academic faces a Faustian bargain in David Greig’s The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, a comic drama with mythological elements set in a Scottish pub. It’s a visiting production from the National Theatre of Scotland, which will also be back later this autumn with a revival of the wildly acclaimed Black Watch. The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart runs Wed., Sept. 26-Sunday, Oct. 28 in the theater Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, 800 E. Grand Ave. Tickets are $45-$60; call 312-595-5600 or visit www.chicagoshakes.com. Photo by Drew Farrell
