  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

As we write, our production of Twelfth Night is touring, free for all, to nineteen Chicago neighborhoods; rehearsals have just begun for Part Two of Barbara’s epic history cycle, Tug of War; and today, our yearlong international festival—Shakespeare 400 Chicago—welcomes the incomparable Jonathan Pryce as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice from Shakespeare’s Globe. We are excited to continue our relationship with this renowed theater, where Barbara has long served on The Globe Council. The Merchant of Venice marks the third time a Globe production has toured to CST’s stages, beginning in 2003 with its “original practices” production of Twelfth Night, starring Academy Award-winner Mark Rylance as Olivia, and again in 2014 with its ambitious world-circling tour of Hamlet, presented in 197 countries. In 2014, CST’s World’s Stage series welcomed Kneehigh’s production of Tristan and Yseult directed by Emma Rice, now the Globe’s artistic director. The sole North American theater invited to participate in the 2012 Cultural Olympiad “Globe to Globe” festival, CST debuted on the Globe’s stage with its production of Othello: The Remix, created with the Q Brothers.
