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.
