Chicago Shakespeare Theater is partnering with Bon Appétit presents Chicago Gourmet to design an unprecedented Grand Cru experience in which a selection of participating Culinary Complete Works chefs will present their Shakespeare-inspired dishes alongside artful representations of Shakespeare's most famous scenes.

This premier “event within the event” is the ultimate in culinary indulgence, complete with tastings of elite wines from around the world.
