    We have closed our run of THE GIRL IN THE IRON MASK!!!
    What did the critics have to say?


    "The first thing you need to know about Babes With Blades' staging of "The Girl in the Iron Mask" is that every woman in this story carries a sword and knows how to use it." - Mary Houlihan, Chicago Sun-Times

    "Dumas' "The Man in the Iron Mask" has everything action theater wants: intrigue, adventure, romance and plenty of swordplay. On that count this ensemble, made up mostly of stage combat veterans, delivers. (For the record, the Babes' fights make for the show's best moments)." - Barbara Vitello, the Daily Herald


    "..firecracker all-female cast... Once again, Babes With Blades proves its worth as one of Chicago's more unusual theater companies."- Mary Houlihan, Chicago Sun-Times



    While you're here - you can also stop and check out our merchandise.

    Babes With Blades is partially supported by grants from The Donnelley Foundation, The Illinois Arts Council, and The Chicago Artists Resource
