Free pop-up performances and activities across north, west, and south sides of Chicago
“If music be the food of love, PLAY ON!” Shakespeare’s joyful comedy Twelfth Night is brought to vibrant new life with 22 free pop-up performances and activities in green spaces, neighborhood festivals, and events across the city as part of Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s (CST) Shakes in the City initiative. Director Tyrone Phillips, a first-generation Jamaican American, reimagines the story in the Caribbean isles, infused with the music and playful spirit of Carnival. Separated from her twin brother in a shipwreck and washed ashore in an unfamiliar land, the spirited Viola disguises herself as a man to work for charming Duke Orsino—and finds herself in the middle of a love triangle of hilarious mistaken identities. Enjoy this immersive 45-minute pop-up performance and engage with artists in hands-on activities inspired by play.
