THE ARSONISTS—onstage now at the Bartell Theatre
A Wisconsin town's reactions to Ed Gein in The Arsonists
I've probably seen the same portrait of Christ in hundreds of Wisconsin homes and churches. Dated and pastel, with a white Jesus beaming at the sky, it tells me a lot about the place I'm visiting and the people who congregate there. Seeing the same picture in Mercury Players Theatre's The Arsonists helped me figure out exactly where I was. . . . Solid performances. . . . In all, Mercury Players Theatre respects the quirks that make The Arsonists' characters unique. MORE

In November 1957, Plainfield, Wisconsin resident Ed Gein was arrested and charged with horrific crimes.
