Chicago’s Nick Jones, Nathanael Vangine, Becca Shwartz, Ryan Hake and Christine Watt are featured in Unexpected Theatre Company’s world premiere of 7 Minutes to Live, written by Richard Lyons Conlon and directed by Andrea J. Dymond, August 29 - September 22, at Chicago Dramatists 798 North Aberdeen. Co-produced by Chicago Dramatists and Prop THTR. Nathanael Vangine plays the role of Luke, Ryan Hake is Henry and Christine Watt is Vanessa. Nick Jones is the sound designer and Becca Schwartz is the fight and intimacy director.

Intense, profane and wickedly funny, 7 Minutes to Live has been described as a gothic dramedy about urban angst, patriarchal privilege, caste warfare, incendiary literature, and true love. 7 Minutes to Live was a Semi-Finalist at the Eugene O’Neill Playwrights Conference, as well as a Stage Play Finalist at the Austin Film Festival, and has placed in several other competitions and festivals.

The performance schedule is Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Tickets for 7 Minutes to Live are priced on a “Pay-What-You-Can” scale, with a suggested price of $25, and can be purchased at www.TicketTailor.com.
