The Chicago Shakespeare Theater is widely known for vibrant productions that reflect the Bard s genius for intricate storytelling, musicality of language, and depth of feeling for the human condition. Affectionately known to natives of the Windy City as Chicago Shakes, this vanguard of Chicago s rich theatrical tradition celebrates its silver anniversary with this bracing collection of original essays by world-renowned scholars, directors, actors, and critics.
"Chicago Shakespeare Theater "unveils the artistic visions and decisions that helped shape this venerable institution and examines the theater s international reputation for staging such remarkable and provocative performances.
The volume brings together works by such heralded drama critics as Terry Teachout, Jonathan Abarbanel, and Michael Billington; theater industry giants like Michael Bogdanov, Edward Hall, and Simon Callow; interviews with the Chicago Shakespeare Theater s own Artistic Director Barbara Gaines and Executive Director Criss Henderson; and essays by such noted figures in academe as Clark Hulse, Wendy Wall, and Michael Shapiro."
