UP Shakespeare Festival, Wolfs Head Theatre to present ‘Bug’

MARQUETTE — The Upper Peninsula Shakespeare Festival and Wolfs Head Theatre Company will present “Bug” by Tracy Letts at the Ore Dock Brewing Company in Marquette. Performances are set for Sunday, July 22; Tuesday, July 24; Sunday, July 29; Wednesday, Aug. 1, and Sunday, Aug. 5. All shows are at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m.

A world-weary waitress and an eccentric Gulf War veteran meet in a dingy motel room. Together they confront loneliness, loss, her violent ex-con ex-husband, his murky military past, UFOs, secret government conspiracies and a possible infestation of blood-sucking aphids.

Experience this pitch-black comedy in a terrifyingly intimate staging at the Ore Dock Brewing Company, 114 W. Spring St. in Marquette.

Letts is a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright based in Chicago. Other works include “August Osage County,” “Killer Joe” and “Superior Donuts.”
