**** Recommended **** When I think of the Court Theatre, I know I’ll see a well-staged, true-to-the-book production so I was surprised to learn I had ‘stage’ seating for The Tragedy of Othello the Moor of Venice.  Needless to say I wasn’t expecting an avant-garde immersive experience but there it was, right in the middle of everything.  Although Othello is my least favorite of Shakespeare’s plays, what with Iago being a bottom-feeding sociopath, compelling performances from a stellar cast drew me right in.  Unfortunately, in abbreviating Othello to one act, certain key speeches explaining nefarious behaviors were omitted.  3 ½ Spotlights 

**** Highly Recommended **** As You Like It might be my favorite of Shakespeare’s comedies.  All of the elements are here – young love, not-so-young love, good vs evil siblings, people wandering about in the forest, and … wrestling?  So, idea-guy (actually he’s the director) Daryl Cloran and Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival (Vancouver, BC) took those ingredients, moved the whole thing into the 60s, added Beatles songs and came up with a winner!  I loved everything about Chicago Shakespeare’s delightful production – the cast, the set, the musicians rocking on stage, the way the words in the songs seemed to fit right into Shakespeare’s dialog.  4 BIG Spotlights
