Cafe Metropol says…

Chalk Repertory Theatre guns love and passion down through defiantly minimal farce and a flaunted disregard for sex or ethnicity in casting. The contemporary real-time first half is a Q&A showdown between a desperate ex-boyfriend and the current adoring fiancé of one Miss Courtney O'Connell, while the second half cleverly juxtaposes a 1894 silent movie-esque reenactment of Nebraska's Morgan Morality Act with a fictional attempt to stop violence by spurned lovers. Known for their inventive venue choices, Chalk Repertory invades Café Metropol, with a refined brasserie menu and soulful jazz-band residents lending ambiance to an already engaging production.
