Reviews

Set during the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, THE WATER ENGINE tells the story of an immigrant inventor who has created a machine that runs on water, only to find himself threatened by big business who would like to see it destroyed. The play is presented as a radio drama and performed as if the live theatrical audience members were at the studio. THE WATER ENGINEis a classic morality fable of greed and social conspiracy.

Darrell W. Cox, Scott Tennant, Chuck Quinn, Toby Nicholson, Laren Wilkes

"The acting is up to Profiles' usual high standard, and the direction is clear, clean and unpretentious, a superb production!"

- Jack Helbig, CHICAGO READER

"Highly recommended! The directors sculpt evocative images in visual design and aural delivery into the dark cityscape conveyed in Mamet's story!"

- Sid Smith, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
