Event Details:
The 2008/09 Chicago Shakespeare Theatre season concludes with the Chicago debut of British director Josie Rourke staging Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s fairytale comedy set in the make-believe kingdom of Illyria. Shipwrecked twins set into relentless motion this tale of mistaken identity and unlikely love. Josie Rourke has held positions at the Donmar Warehouse, Sheffield Theatres and the Royal Court, and directed King John for the Royal Shakespeare Company. She is Artistic Director of The Bush Theater—London’s 36-year-old company that presents new plays and develops new writers. Recently, Rourke made headlines when she successfully led the artistic community in a charge to restore Arts Council England funding to theaters. March 29 – June 7, 2009, Courtyard Theater.
