DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome to Chicago Shakespeare and the continuation of our city’s landmark international arts festival—Shakespeare 400 Chicago. Today’s production of Othello has been woven into a psychological thriller—one that could have only come from the brilliant mind of British director, Jonathan Munby. Jonathan was last with us for his visceral interpretation of in 2012, which astutely reflected the power of political rhetoric in an important election year for the US. His Othello artfully mines the themes of jealousy and racism inherent in this play, and poignant at this moment in our world’s history.

Shakespeare 400 Chicago will complement Munby’s Othello staged at Feminism meets imperialism. Monty Python meets its match. Chicago's newest Chicago Shakespeare by exploring the same play through: dance in the Equity theater Hamburg Ballet’s awe-inspiring interpretation at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance; hip-hop in the internationally acclaimed adaptation Othello: The cktail is big fun.” "Brace for comedy! This hijinks-happy co Remix by rap artists the Q Brothers; and even through a Brazilian-inspired — NY DAILY NEWS dish designed by Chef John Manion of La Sirena Clandestina, part of Culinary Complete Works.

These are just a few examples of the myriad ways Shakespeare’s thirty-eight plays will be brought to life across our city this year. We are proud to spearhead this initiative that reaffirms Chicago’s position as a global destination for cultural tourism. Your support fuels this work, and for this we are truly grateful.

Here’s to a year of Shakespeare! n

Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare continues to raise questions, arguments, and point/ counterpoints among—and sometimes between—scholars and theater practitioners. The same script through different lenses reveals itself in a myriad of ways—leaving us, the readers of text and performance, to think and rethink our own points of view. Such is the legacy that Shakespeare left us. We hope that our program notes enrich, deepen, and sometimes even challenge—our audiences’ experience with the production they witness. Unhoused
