INCOGNITO
Drama
Runs Jul 17 - Aug 03, 2025
In this Chicago premiere by playwright Nick Payne, three interwoven stories create a poignant exploration of love, loss, and identity—raising the question of whether forgetting who we are would be a curse or a gift.
"Despite being based, albeit very loosely, on several true stories, this play is a work of fiction. But then isn’t everything.” - Nick Payne
