Park Ridge Public Library

The Shakespeare Project of Chicago will present its original adaptation of Shakespeare's Sonnets and Songs, My Name Is Will. Shakespeare's sonnets represent some of his most personal and emotionally charged writing. Shakespeare Project Artistic Director Peter Garino has created a dramatic context for 35 of the sonnets, augmented by 11 songs from eight of Shakespeare's plays. The distinctly American music of Chris Walz (who toured the world with The Special Consensus Bluegrass Band and currently teaches at the Old Town School of Folk Music) provides a dramatic counterpoint to the Bard's poetry and lyrics. Join us for this musical celebration that features beautiful poetry, original music and four of your favorite Shakespeare Project actors. Running time: 53 minutes. A discussion will follow the performance. Reservations are required. Admission is FREE.
