Stratford-on-the-lake? This is suddenly a Shakespeare town

chicagotribune.com: "Why the sudden profusion? It's mostly due to the phenomenal growth of the Chicago Shakespeare Theater into one of this city's major institutions -- with as tony and influential an opening-night crowd as you'll find anywhere."

Before reading this article, I never realized how much Shakespeare was performed in Chicago. This column highlighted some interesting new adaptations of Shakespeare's works, but I would have preferred to know more about what these shows (how they adapted/interpreted Shakespeare the way they did) instead of just ticket prices. On the other hand, the history of the rise of Shakespeare in Chicago was also informative.
