Chicago's Annoyance theater usually sticks to homemade sketch and stage comedy written by talented locals, but tonight's weirdo wordsmith is just a little more famous. While Roald Dahl is best known for his kid stories like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach, he also wrote plenty of equally entertaining — and similarly strange — yarns for adults. Tonight's show relies on local actors and video depictions to tell three of Dahl's bizarre tales, which pervert the standard slant on romance with everything from dead husbands to adultery.
