Rounding out the cast, Steppenwolf welcomes Esco Joul\u00e9y (Dying for Sex) and Michael Potts (The Wire, The Piano Lesson\u2013Broadway), both in their Steppenwolf debuts.<\/p>\n<p>This is a story about money. Don\u2019t let them fool you otherwise. When a Chicago father loses his child in a clash with the police, he is visited by three strangers who advise him to take the city\u2019s cash settlement, relocate and forget his grief \u2013 or else remain, haunted by memories of the world his child fought so hard to protect. This lyrical world premiere is a vital and timely look at the spirit of activism set against the most indifferent system of them all: the almighty dollar.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>]]><\/p>\n<p>]]><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\ud83c\udfad NEW!
