Written by Terry Morrow of The Reaganomics, a new musical inspired by Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" will be performed live in Chicago in February, 2022.
As described by its creators:
Based on the famous short story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, “Ritual-The Musical” dives into a conformity driven farmtown, where superstition, sexism, and tradition reign supreme. Tessie Hutchinson and her daughter Nancy discover an unlikely connection in the face of certain disaster, and the townspeople will stop at nothing to maintain their idea of order as they celebrate the annual lottery ritual.
The overall piece has diverse musical elements, including hints of rock and punk.
