Last seen in Chicago at the Broadway Armory in 2011 with its award-winning drama Black Watch, The National Theatre of Scotland continues its practice of presenting theater in unconventional spaces when its production of Duncan McLean's Long Gone Lonesome featuring the Lone Star Swing Band plays The Hideout for a brief run. Long Gone Lonesome is a musical celebration of Thomas Fraser, a Scottish fisherman who left behind a treasure trove of private country and blues recordings. Long Gone Lonesome plays at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 2 and 3, then at 5 and 9 p.m. Feb. 4 at The Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia Ave. Tickets are $25-$35; call 312-595-5600 or visit www.ChicagoShakes.com .
