Hi Henry! Thanks for the comment. Josie Rourke’s achievement with “Twelfth Night” was commendable; she’ll be back next year with “Taming of the Shrew”, which I’m really excited to see.

My passion (or stamina) for theater pales tremendously compared to yours. But Blackbird, Tempest, History Boys, and Irma Vep were absolutely brilliant in their own ways.

Arabian Nights i thought deserves an honorable mention. Nothing new really, but 20 years after the first Gulf War, it’s an interesting revisit.

For as much clunkers as Chicago Shakespeare puts out, 12th Night was such a breath of fresh air (or perhaps fresh water?). ;-)
