Zeke Sulkes, Time Out Chicago Performer of the Week

 "Inside the intimate space nestled within the Chopin Theatre basement, a group of four actors are putting on a production of Romeo and Juliet unlike any other. Sean Graney’s Romeo Juliet begins with elements from Shakespeare’s classic play and Felice Romani’s libretto for the opera I Capuleti e I Montecchi. Those are then put through a modern language filter and staged in what looks like someone’s basement in the ’70s, a space designed by the actors.
Starring as Mercutio and Lord Capulet, Zeke Sulkes continues a streak of shows with Graney and the Hypocrites, a relationship that will take him to Boston this June when the Hypocrites remount their promenade production of Pirates of Penzanceat the American Repetory Theater. A native of Rochester, New York, Sulkes fell in love with theater after his grandma took him to see Pirates of Penzance as a child, and he’s been performing ever since. Sulkes speaks to us about designing the show with his costars, the pros and cons of unorthodox staging, and his future with Gilbert & Sullivan."

Audiences Love "Pirates!"

 "'Pirates' was spectacular! Sean Graney's expert, irreverent direction, the musical arrangements and the splendid cast made this one of the best shows I've ever seen. What fun! What a way to handle the beloved work of G & S! I will see it again as often as I can. If I could, I'd 'Move' into the show and never leave. Fabulous experience!!!!!!!!" 

"If you haven't been your life is incomplete!" Meegan on Facebook

What does The Hypocrites mean to you?

"The kind of work I strive to be part of, both in rehearsal and performance, is fearless, challenging and still full of joy. A hard trio to accomplish, especially when you are being torn apart by a monster or dealing with 1930's Berlin. But The Hypocrites manage to combine all of these elements in their productions. I have the utmost respect and love for this company." -Jessie Fisher
