In playwright Caridad Svich’s De Troya—a fever dream of a drama—a wounded young woman emerges from a river and sets into motion a family saga rich in magic, fantasy and the specter of a fallen city buried deep below the world we know. Two sisters are at the heart of the tale, both fearful that their beloved niece could disappear without a trace. Saying much more would result in spoilers—just know that Svich is a master of magical realism and Halcyon Theatre has been championing works by women since long before doing so was trendy. Halcyon Theatre at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 3253 W. Wilson; $20 in advance, or free at the door day of performance; HalcyonTheatre.org/de Troya
