Just in time for William Shakespeare’s 453rd birthday on April 23, Chicago Shakespeare Theater brings to the stage one of the most popular romantic films of all time, Shakespeare in Love.
Shakespeare in Love comes to life in an enchanting, music-filled theatrical event staged by acclaimed director Rachel Rockwell. Based on the Academy Award-winner for Best Picture with screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, Shakespeare in Love is adapted for the stage by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Lee Hall. Culminating the Theater’s 30th Anniversary Season, this high-spirited romantic comedy is magnificently rendered onstage in the magical intimacy of Chicago Shakespeare’s Courtyard Theater.
