"Lord what fools these mortals be!" Shakespeare's beloved comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream sends a quartet of lovers and a motley group of amateur actors into a magical fairy-filled forest where the mortal and fairy worlds collide with hilarious results. New partners pair up, humans are transformed and fights break out before everything is set right. Chicago Shakespeare Theatre's Artistic Director Gary Griffin has assembled a cast of CST veterans as well as comic actors including former Saturday Night Live and Second City funnyman Tim Kazurinsky in the role of Peter Quince.

Tony-Winner, Star Wars Actor Ian McDiarmid in CST's Timon of Athens

Full Price:
$55.00 - $75.00
Our Price:
$27.50 - $37.50

Chicago Shakespeare Theatre presents the finale of its 25th anniversary season, Shakespeare's rarely produced Timon of Athens. Directed by CST Artistic Director, Barbara Gaines, this production is set in the world of high-risk futures trading, where Timon is king of the hill, until a reversal of fortune sends him into financial free fall and his formers friends become ruthless creditors. Timon is played by internationally-acclaimed actor Ian McDiarmid, who won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play for his performance as Teddy in Brian Friel's Faith Healer. He is perhaps most famous for his chilling performance as the Emperor in George Lucas's 1983 film Return of the Jedi, and later as Senator Palpatine in the Star Wars prequels. Learn More

The actual production was wonderful -- as usual. A little disappointed that we got Tim K's understudy -- and that the audience was filled with high school kids shouting during certain scenes and talking during others.

Production was, as usual, absolutely wonderful. Seats were, however, absolutely awful. I always thought there were no bad seats in the house but I was wrong---the upper gallery is a nightmare with a railing right in the line of sight.
