Created for Chicago’s Goodman Theatre in 2016, this is an epic stage adaptation of Chilean-born novelist Roberto Bolaño’s masterpiece.

2666 begins with a group of hapless European academics hot on the trail of an elusive author – a search that leads them into the dark heart of a Mexican border city where the murders of hundreds of women remain unsolved.

This story gives way to a surprising, panoramic portrait of the 20th century that spans more than 100 years and jumps from Spain to Mexico to Germany and beyond, illuminating the power of literature to reflect and transform the world.
