Chicago Shakespeare Theater brings to the stage the Midwest premiere of David Ives’ The School for Lies, adapted from Moliere’s The Misanthrope. This period comedy transforms Molière’s classic into a modern satire told entirely through verse. The result is a delightfully incongruous seventeenth-century comedy of manners that brims with contemporary slang. Performing the roles of love interests Frank and Celimene are real-life husband and wife duo and longtime Stratford Shakespeare Festival actors Ben Carlson and Deborah Hay. CST Artistic Director and multiple Jeff Award-winning director Barbara Gaines takes the helm.
