Kelley's compelling new minute adaptation of this challenging work occupies the stage, there were little gasps of breath and murmurs at the unspooling understanding that the year-old Thomas, whose crime was purely accidental, was pursued by his demons and aggressors in the very blocks just north of this theater — there are references to Drexel Blvd. And there are time pegs — to Leopold and Loeb and other reminders of the violence that could and did erupt in this city, then as now.

The chronology is scrambled and the narrative voice internalized and nonlinear. It is also a very tough piece for an audience to take, not so much because of the searing racism depicted in the piece that is familiar history to many but because of its fatalistic patina, its repetition of the theme carefully foregrounded by Kelley that says, in essence, that when Bigger Thomas looks in the mirror he can see only a reflection created by the others and thus is as compelled to enact his pre-ordained destiny.

He's not unlike Sophocles' "Oedipus the King. But "Native Son" is one of the most important works ever written in the city. It is long overdue for an appearance on this Hyde Park stage, but it still took guts to bring it there. Early in the piece, we see a huge black rat killed in the infested Chicago apartment in which Bigger Thomas was raised.

Scott and Kelley, clearly working closely together and with set designer Regina Garcia, essentially take that as their text, trapping Bigger in a dark urban maze of memory and subjugation and confusion, crosscutting scenes from past and present but never really allowing their protagonist to see the daylight.

And thus we don't see any either.
