The chicago premiere of
THE RECKONING OF KIT & LITTLE BOOTS
By Nat Cassidy
Directed by Gus Menary
First Floor Theater was thrilled to present the Chicago Premiere of The Reckoning of Kit and Little Boots (TROKALB), Nat Cassidy's riproaring metaphysical buddy comedy.
In this text, the famous Elizabethan playwright, Christopher "Kit" Marlowe has been stabbed. While dying, he is visited by an apparition the ghost of insane Roman Emperor Caligula ("Little Boots"). Caligula proceeds to walk Marlowe backwards through their respective histories through exploring the power of infamy, mitigating the struggles of writing, and illuminating the universal human spirit in this witty and ultimately moving comedy.
