Chicago
Chicago is a play written by Maurine Watkins, first performed in 1926. It centers around Roxie Hart, a woman who murders her boyfriend and becomes a media sensation, alongside her lawyer Billy Flynn. The play is notable for its portrayal of Jazz Age crime and celebrity culture, and it inspired multiple adaptations, including a famous musical and several film versions. The story is based on the real-life case of Beulah Annan, who killed her lover in 1924.
