bold and innovative year-round season—plays, musicals, world premieres, family
productions, and theatrical presentations from around the globe—alongside
education programming for students, teachers, and lifelong learners, and
engagement with communities across the city.
Founded in 1986, the Theater has evolved to present as many as twenty
productions and 650 performances annually and has been honored with
numerous awards. Chicago Shakespeare is the city’s leading presenter of
international work and has toured its own productions to five continents. The
Theater is also dedicated to welcoming the next generation of theatergoers.
A national leader in the field, the Theater’s arts-in-literacy programs support
the work in classrooms across the region for tens of thousands of students each
year by bringing complex texts to life onstage and through professional learning
opportunities for teachers. Now in its twelfth year, Chicago Shakespeare in the
Parks remains a key component of CoLab, the Theater's year-round program
rooted in engagement with neighborhoods and collaborations with
local artists.
As a nonprofit organization, Chicago Shakespeare is, at its core, about people:
connecting audiences and artists, partnering with teachers and students, and
sharing with friends and neighbors. It is in this spirit that the Theater upholds its
commitment to be an increasingly diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible
organization. The Theater strives to engage today’s artists and audiences in active
and critical conversations with the work of its namesake, William Shakespeare.
Located on Chicago’s iconic Navy Pier, Chicago Shakespeare’s campus features
the Jentes Family Courtyard Theater, The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare, and

the city, and in venues around the world, Chicago Shakespeare is a multifaceted

CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE THEATER
A Conversation
with the Director
Director Tyrone Phillips talked about his vision for
Twelfth Night
with the staff of Chicago Shakespeare.
Why are you excited to direct Twelfth Night?
What about this play speaks to you?
Tyrone Phillips: What’s not to be excited about:
it's a comedy and it’s all about love. This play asks
the question, how do you show love and receive
love—from yourself and from your community?
Are you free enough to express who you are every
day? Because if you are, that's when you can love
someone else.
When I think about love, I think about my parents.
I'm a first-generation Jamaican American, so
we’re setting Illyria in the Caribbean, though not
Jamaica specifically. It’s about dierent cultures
coming together—celebrating and becoming a
community. You’re going to feel like you’re on
vacation when you experience the music and
colors and energy in the world of this play.
In addition to love, what other themes
are you exploring?
Isolation, believe it or not, and grief. What does it
mean to go through a period of grief... and when
are you ready to move on? At the beginning of this
play, Olivia is considering what it means to grieve
her brother’s death. When we meet Viola, she’s
lost her brother...or so she thinks. When you lose
a part of yourself, how do you continue? That is
embedded in this piece.
Can you talk about the role of gender
in TwelfthNight?
I feel like Shakespeare was ahead of his time when
he explored gender and gender roles in this play.
I’m always about breaking those rules imposed
on us by society, about looking at each other as
humans first. It’s fun for Viola to be able to try on
a dierent gender, and I hope to tease out the
dierences between genders and ultimately what
it means not to conform. People can seek love as
whoever they authentically are: “this is what I’m
bringing to the table, and this is how I want to communicate.”
I think our audience is ready for this conversation.
Tell us about your journey with Shakespeare and
Chicago Shakespeare Theater.
I remember being in high school and coming to see a Shakespeare play on
a field trip right here at Chicago Shakespeare. I had this realization, “Oh, I
think I can do that.” It’s a full-circle moment to be directing a production
where I first thought about myself being on stage. I feel like people of color
sometimes perceive that there’s a barrier to Shakespeare, and luckily I had
this experience early on that made me feel like I could be a part of it. Since
then, I’ve performed here in A Midsummer Night’s
Dream and Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks. I have
been able to assistant direct and dramaturg on several
projects, as well as direct the filmed I, Cinna during
the pandemic... and now this!
I love the Courtyard Theater, there’s nothing quite like
it. Most of the audience can see one another. I think
magic happens when you’re able to watch the work of
art but also see yourself reflected in another person.
What is moving them? What makes them laugh?
There’s something so communal about that, which I
love. The audience completes the storytelling.
Why do you love making theater in Chicago—with Chicago artists and for
Chicago audiences?
There is no place like Chicago to be an artist. As a theater lover, this has
always been home for me. A lot of my work is in diversity and inclusion, so
I felt like I couldn’t go to another city, another place, if that sense of home
wasn’t right.
To me, Chicago is all about the people, the grind... the diversity of race,
gender, class. I feel like Chicago understands what it means to be a human,
what it means to be a neighbor. I love creating here, it’s my home. I’ll be in
Chicago for a very long time. n

THE STORY
Duke Orsino is pining for the love of the Countess Olivia, who has declared
seven years of mourning for her dead brother and will see no one. And so,
matters of love in Illyria are at a stalemate—for the time being.
Then a violent storm at sea deposits young Viola upon Illyria’s shore. She
fears her twin brother Sebastian has died. Assuming the disguise of a young
male page for safety, Viola as “Cesario” seeks employment in Duke Orsino’s
household. Orsino takes Cesario into his confidence and sends the page as his
ambassador of love to Olivia. Viola dutifully undertakes her new responsibility,
though she herself has fallen in love with Orsino. Face to face with Olivia,
Cesario urges the Countess to drop her veil of mourning. As she does,
Oliviafalls in love with the young stranger.
The Countess’ household is in an uproar. Her uncle Sir Toby Belch and his
sidekick Sir Andrew Aguecheek, who also hopes to win Olivia, drink late into
the nights. Her clown, Feste, brings both laughter and sometimes melancholy
to the court through his music and musings. Olivia attempts to maintain order
through her steward Malvolio, hated by all as a self-righteous puritan. With
the assistance of Toby and Andrew, Olivia’s gentlewoman Maria plots their
revenge: a forged letter of love to Malvolio, ostensibly from Olivia. Malvolio’s
adversaries gather to observe the scene with delight as he presents himself
to his mistress, precisely as instructed by the letter—cross-gartered, yellow-
stockinged, and smiling. Dismayed by her steward’s odd behavior, Olivia
entrusts him to the care of her uncle, who proceeds to lock Malvolio up to
cure him of his “madness.”
Viola does not know that her lost brother and look-alike, Sebastian, is alive
and newly arrived in Illyria, guided by his newfound friend, the sailor Antonio.
Urged on by Toby Belch, the reluctant Aguecheek challenges Cesario to
a duel and ends up roundly defeated by Viola’s male doppelganger. Olivia
makes the same mistake: begging once more for Cesario’s love, she is stunned
when he readily agrees to marry her. No one is more shocked, of course,
than Viola when she hears report of Cesario’s marriage to the Countess.
Theappearance of the real Sebastian and the reunion of brother and sister
setalmost all right in Illyria. n

As we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the
publication of the most famous book in English
literature, Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies,
Histories & Tragedies (generally referred to as the
First Folio), it is perhaps the perfect moment to
consider the book’s history. Printed in 1623, it is the
first published collection of Shakespeare’s plays:
it includes thirty-six, eighteen of which had not
previously been printed. Without the First Folio,
then, plays such as Julius Caesar, Macbeth, The
Tempest—and Twelfth Night—might never have
survived. It is estimated that about 750 copies of
the book were printed; 235 survive. The only copy
in Chicago is held by the Newberry Library.
It is also useful to mention what the First Folio is
not. It is not everything that Shakespeare wrote
(itdoes not include the plays Pericles and The Two
Noble Kinsmen, nor does it include poetry). It is not
the first printing of Shakespeare’s plays. And having
died seven years before the book’s publication,
Shakespeare was not involved in its creation.
Sothen who did make it?
The Rights to Shakespeare
In the early seventeenth century, printing rights
diered from our modern system of copyright and
authors did not own the rights to their own work.
Instead, publishers could register works with the
Stationers’ Company, thereby gaining the right to
print them—and they were sometimes printed from
very dubious sources! Therefore, Edward Blount
and Isaac Jaggard, the publishers of the folio, had
to negotiate with several dierent people to obtain
the rights. The publishers had the most diculty
gaining the rights to Troilus and Cressida. In fact,
some copies of the First Folio already had been

Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s John W. and Jeanne M. Rowe Inquiry and ExplorationSeries
encompasses our varied audience enrichment programs relating to the artistry on our
stages. With the participation of scholars, theater artists, and the Theater’s professional
sta, they provide thoughtful points of entry for engagement by our many audiences.

these great plays and the breathtaking art-making behind them.
sold by the time that Troilus was printed and added to the volume. Therefore,
itis not included in the catalogue of plays at the beginning of the book.
The Characters of the Folio
Negotiating the rights was just the first step for the publishers, because
they also needed to provide edited texts for the printers. Even though 18 of
the plays had already been printed, the texts of the plays for the folio were
compiled using various combinations of previously printed individual plays
(called quartos), foul manuscripts (rough drafts), fair manuscripts (finished
copies), and manuscript prompt books (complete play texts marked with
entrances, exits, stage cues, etc.). The editors attempted to create what they
believed to be the most authoritative version of each play. While many people
consider the First Folio to be the definitive edition of the plays, some modern
editors prefer earlier editions of certain plays.
After the plays were edited for printing, they were distributed to compositors,
whose job it was to set the type for the book. Compositors literally had to
set each letter individually, taking pieces of type from a specially prepared
case (this is the origin of the terms “uppercase” and “lowercase”). There were
at least five, and possibly as many as nine compositors who worked on the
book, and it is worth noting that they were working on four other books in the
print shop at the same time. Compositors were handed a certain number of
manuscript pages and expected to make that text fit on a single printed page—
and they often needed to find creative solutions. As a result, some pages in
the folio have text that is either squeezed together or extremely generously
spaced. For example, on the last page of Much Ado About Nothing, verse
is printed as prose, words are omitted, and abbreviated forms are used to
savespace.
There were so many people involved in the creation of the Shakespeare folio
and so many moving parts (literally!) that it is astonishing that the book got
made at all. As in Shakespeare’s plays, the story of the First Folio is filled with
characters from all walks of life who came to together to ensure that his work
would survive, for as Shakespeare’s contemporary Ben Jonson wrote in the
prefatory verses of the First Folio:
Thou art a monument without a tomb, / And art alive still while thy book doth
live / And we have wits to read, and praise to give. n

Library to research topics

First Folio (to our knowledge)
is the only one you’ll find
