I have been to dozens of performances at Chicago Shakespeare and have yet to be disappointed. It is an excellent venue on Navy Pier and fairly easy to get to by cab or car. If you are visiting Chicago and love live theater, it is a must see! There are plenty of restaurants in all price ranges on Navy Pier... More

We saw Shakespeare's Henry VIII and it was beautifully acted with simple but elegant staging. The theatre is intimate and is designed to mimic the inside of the old Globe theatre in London. This is a first class Shakespeare experience.

Got some cheap tickets to their modern rendition of Othello. It was amazing. High energy, funny, and well performed, it put Shakespeare into a new perspective. Chapeau!

Attended the Othello Remix on 4/13/13. The first section of my review will be a review on the facility and the second will be the show. Facility: I’m unsure if the theater has multiple stages, but the one for this specific play was on the 4th floor of the building and was accessible by stairs and elevator. We got there... More

Our family of 4 teenagers (and one friend) saw Othello the Remix last week. Although I do not listen to rap music (ever), I wanted to take our kids to see something they might love. And even though they are not big rap music fans, they absolutely loved the show. It's definitely mature material, but certainly fine for teens. My... More
