Hamlet at Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Chicago Shakespeare Theater (on Navy Pier) is doing Hamlet April 17 - June 9, 2019, as I'm told by Michael Hayden, who is playing Claudius. It will be produced by founder and artistic director Barbara Gaines, who is "Internationally renowned for her populist and dynamic interpretations of Shakespeare."

There is a free enrichment program/lecture an hour before the May 4-June 9 Sat & Sun matinees, and a Pub Cast Call an hour before the Friday evening performances May 17 & 24.

The poster has the traditional skull, but it's wearing a green jester's hat, as Yorick was both the king's jester and a sort of affectionate surrogate father figure for Hamlet, a nice touch.
