The Play
Shakespeare's love potion-fueled comedy bursts to uproarious life in CST Associate Artistic Director Gary Griffin's must-see, all-new production. A company of the finest (and funniest!) actors from Chicago and beyond come together in the Bard's tale of feuding fairies, misguided passions and the vagaries of our dreams in the uniquely personal setting of CST's Courtyard Theater. Rediscover the magic that's enchanted audiences for over 400 years.
