Eagle Hills, Eagle Ridge, Eagle Landing

Eagle Hills, Eagle Ridge, Eagle Landing, by breakout Chicago playwright Brett Neveu is a curious, suburban comedy that brings together all the tension of a Harold Pinter slow-burner while capturing the catchy absurdity of a Coen brothers farce. In what seems like a set-up for an old-timey joke, three long-time friends meet “at a table at a bar,” but before long, they find themselves trapped in a crucible of competition and confession, both heartbreaking and sneaky-funny. The West Coast Premiere of Eagle Hills, Eagle Ridge, Eagle Landing is a co-production between Range View Productions and VS. Theatre Company. “A remarkably fresh and witty piece of writing. Make no mistake. [Neveu] is an author worth watching, and listening to.” The Chicago Tribune “… the Bard of Midwestern angst. Perhaps [Chicago’s] closest equivalent to a young David Mamet.” Chicago Magazine
