An Chicago Premiere comedy for the end of the world…
Flood
by Mashuq Mushtaq Deen
directed by Kenneth Prestininzi
January 25 – March 9, 2024, at Theater Wit
An apartment on the 19th floor. All Edith wants — it’s not too much to ask, is it? — is to sit and have some tea with her husband, someday, when he’s done with building his masterpiece. The kids don’t call enough, and when they do, they seem full of accusations. Meanwhile, outside their apartment, the waters are rising, rising, rising… This Chicago Premiere is a dynamic comedy about love and companionship across gender and generational divides.
This play is 90 minutes, with no intermission.
Performances take place in Theater 1 at Theater Wit (1229 W Belmont) where Shattered Globe Theatre is a resident company. Visit this page for information on public transportation to the theater and parking.

COVID / MASKING Policy
The entire company of FLOOD is fully vaccinated according to AEA Regulations.
Masks are no longer required at most performances, however masks are encouraged due to the intimacy of the space.
Masks are mandatory for select performances for the accessibility of our immunocompromised friends and anyone who prefers to be more cautious: TBD.
The bar is open at Theater Wit and drinks will be allowed in the theatre. Please note that even at our special masked performances, the Theatre Wit Lobby will remain mask-optional as that is outside of our purview.
