“Tis time to fear when tyrants seem to kiss.”
A theatrical reading by professional actors from The Shakespeare Project of Chicago, directed by J. R. Sullivan.
An informative talk by a dramaturg begins fifteen minutes before the performance, which is followed by a question-and-answer session with the director and cast. The Shakespeare Project was founded in 1993 and has performed at the Newberry Library since 2003.
