What's onstage at Shakespeare theaters in May

Shakespeare’s comedies take the stage this month, with more than one production of Much Ado, Merry Wives at the Atlanta Shakespeare Company, and All’s Well at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. There are more laughs onstage at Shakespeare in Detroit, where The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised] begins May 18, and the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, which is staging Kate Hammill’s uproarious adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Plus, Henry V wraps up its run at Baltimore’s Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, and a rare revival of Alice Childress’s Wedding Band at Theatre for a New Audience.
