one step at a time like this, Chicago Shakespeare Theater & Richard Jordan Productions present Since I Suppose
Journey through a digital mash up of Shakespeare's Measure For Measure as you move through the city's places of power and pleasure
Since I Suppose takes you on an immersive journey through the city and its places of power and pleasure incorporating digital technologies, intimate interactions and (some of) Shakespeare’s Measure For Measure.
Woven from shards of text, music and instructions, accompanied by mash-ups of internet-scavenged YouTube audition pieces and audio from classic Shakespearean productions, the audience moves through the city, watching, reflecting and responding to what they experience. Since I Suppose is less a version of Shakespeare’s classic play than a participatory play upon it.
