Review: HATFIELD & MCCOY at The House Theatre of Chicago (lto r) Jenni M. Hadley, Michael E. Smith, Jeff Mills, Marika Mashburn, Kyle Whalen, Robert D. Hardaway. Photo by Michael Brosilow. The House Theatre of Chicago often takes on real-life events and dramatizes them in a way that allows the audience to resonate with how it would be to walk in those people’s shoes. Such is the case with the House’s latest fare, HATFIELD & MCCOY, with the added bonus of seeing the legendary American feud through the eyes of Shakespearean star-crossed lovers. Even if the truth is quite a bit less romantic, the tool is effective — sacrificing innocence to appease the thirst for vengeance will give anyone pause.
