After the sudden death of his sister, Marvin can’t find his cell phone. Enter a mysterious woman, a detective with a sketchy accent, and a chorus of spam speaking Eskimos. The Mill brings you the Chicago premiere of Ken Urban’s funny, poignant and unabashedly surreal exploration of loss and life after anti-depressants.
"exceptionally well written and well performed" --Kelly Keliman Listen now: Eskimos featured on Chicago Public Radio's Dueling Critics on Eight-Forty-Eight
"Director Jaclyn Biskup’s staging is resourceful and deft, the action moving fluidly between Marvin’s daily life and his hallucinations." - Zac Thompson, Time Out Chicago
