Chicago Residents Featured in Bramble Theatre Company’s “Evil Perfect”

Chicago’s Ashley Neal, Dan Washelesky, Spencer Huffman, Tristin Hall, Aja Singletary and Amal Mazen Salem are all featured in Bramble Theatre Company’s production of Evil Perfect, written by ensemble member Spencer Huffman and directed by ensemble member Jonathan Shaboo. Assisting Shaboo is Aja Singletary. Ashley Neal plays the role of “Lily.” Dan Washelesky, Managing Director of Bramble Theatre Company, is the dramaturg and Tristin Hall is the violence and intimacy designer. Amal Mazen Salem is production manager.

In an otherworldly city obsessed with achieving absolute equity at all costs, Lily, a dissident at the end of her rope, meets Puck, the son of the city's charismatic matriarch. As their unlikely relationship grows and the city's enforcers close in, Lily and Puck hatch a terrifying plan: to revolt. Set in a tarnished society with twisted ideals, Evil Perfect is a messy and seductive play that attempts to reveal how good people with honorable intentions become evil.
