Ross Compton’s new play Amicable,  now getting its world premiere at the tiny Theatre Above the Law in a cute little enclave in Rogers Park, is remarkable.  It is an astonishing cautionary tale, a zen meditation and a profound experience about human existence.  In this Twilight Zone/Black Mirror era it’s also an excellent piece of science fiction.

There were some brilliant raw moments—like Ross Compton's portrayal of a man's last ride to the vet with his dog and subsequent aversion to white cars...

Compton’s script has several epigrammatic nuggets of wisdom, including the so-true-it-hurts line “There’s nothing more dangerous than a rich person with hurt feelings.”
