When it comes to tales of ambition and assassination, CEOs are the new Scottish warlords. Profile's latest black comedy turns its audience into flies on the wall of a corporate boardroom, where three gray suits and one "weapons specialist" plot against a business rival. Jason Wells wrote the play in 2005, as part of Steppenwolf's First Look Repertory program. Critics love his politically prescient script only slightly more than they love the sinewy, slimy performances in Profile's 100-percent evil-white-dude cast.
