By William Shakespeare
Directed by Danielle Roos
January 31 – February 9, 2020
Josephine Louis Theater
20 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston
An all-powerful ruler, a skeptical public, and noble, but perhaps sinister ambition. Witness a new staging of Shakespeare’s great tragedy in which a group of people go to extremes to remove a leader with devastating consequences.
