CLIVE BARKER'S
IN THE FLESH

Adaptation - Steve Pickering
Adaptation & Director - Charley Sherman

"Powerfully adapted."
- Lawrence Bommer (Chicago Reader)

"A rich vision and superb stagecraft have transformed the cramped confines of the Organic Theater's second-floor Greenhouse space into the seemingly limitless, definitely macabre dream world of Clive Barker. A chilling meditation on perception and reality, life and the afterlife in the well-played, marvelously designed production, staged by Sherman in a remarkable directorial debut. Sherman and Pickering's adaptation, careful and cunning in the way it selects, discards, and restructures elements of its source...in fact the play improves on the story. The show is always dark, scary fun."
- Albert Williams (Chicago Reader)

"...a gripping journey into fear, faith, possession, blood inheritance and death. All in all, it's quite a trip."
- Hedy Weiss (Chicago Sun-Times)

"An imaginative dramatization that serves the text well and genuinely scares its audience."
- Chris Jones (Chicago New City Magazine)

"For those in need of a jolt of creepiness during the holiday season, In The Flesh will certainly provide the shivers."
- Matt Denckla (Windy City Times)
