For the first time at Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST), Shakespeare's contemporary rival playwright Christopher Marlowe, infiltrates Shakespeare's home as Sean Graney brings a contemporary perspective to The Troublesome Reign and Lamentable Death of Edward II, King of England, with the Tragical Fall of Proud Mortimer.
Chicago Shakespeare Theater has mounted a truly state-of-the-art production of one of the Bard's greatest tragedies, Othello, in its mainstage Courtyard Theater on Navy Pier. Everything, from the acting to the designs to the elocution to the pacing, is top-notch and exemplary. Now if they could just find a script worthy of all that theatrical expertise!
Steppenwolf for Young Adults opened its season with The Elephant Man by Bernard Pomerance, directed by Sean Graney. The production runs through November 4, 2007, in the Steppenwolf Downstairs Theatre.
