Can love blossom in an increasingly Orwellian world where everyone is under extreme surveillance? Playwright Jennifer Barclay explores the idea in her world-premiere drama Obscura for Red Tape Theatre. Obscura plays 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays until Oct. 23 at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 621 W. Belmont. Tickets are $10-$25.
