Guest Lecturer Stephen Bennett, Ph.D. presents a Pre•Amble talk, discussing Chicago Shakespeare Theater's 2023 production of THE COMEDY OF ERRORS. In her final production as Artistic Director, Barbara Gaines sets the Bard's riotous farce on a 1940s film set. Part of the John W. and Jeanne M. Rowe Inquiry and Exploration Series, Pre•Amble talks bridge the worlds of scholarship and performance, examining the play alongside a production with its array of interpretive choices made by a director, design team, and acting ensemble.
