Chicago, 1903. A lavish new theatre is set to open to thunderous applause. Touted by city leaders as a marvel of modern design, The Iroquois is beautiful, state-of-the-art¿ and "absolutely fireproof." But behind the velvet curtain lies a tangle of ambition, secrets, and warnings ignored. Performers, politicians, and the public collide in a world where art bows to industry and a single spark could set everything ablaze. Inspired by true events and the theater fire in American history, this gripping drama explores the cost of believing the impossible and ignoring the inevitable.
