Named Time Out Chicago ’s Best Chicago Theater to see this month, Artistic Director Barbara Gaines takes audiences on a riveting gallop through two centuries, distilling six Shakespeare masterworks into two action-packed dramas fueled by stunning staging that trace the rise and fall of kings, and the uncommon courage of common men. The adventure begins with Edward III, Henry V and Henry VI, Part 1 in Foreign Fire, where France is the prize. The action continues in the fall when turmoil seizes England in Civil Strife, featuring Henry VI, Parts 2 + 3 and Richard III. Purchase your tickets in advance by calling 312.595.5600.
