Billie Jean

Chicago Shakespeare Theater
800 East Grand Avenue Chicago

Chicago Shakespeare Theater produces the world premiere of an electrifying new play about Billie Jean King. Following her path to becoming a sports icon, from her record-breaking victories to her relentless fight for equal pay and equal rights, Billie Jean explores the cost of public battles and private struggles-bringing us closer than ever before to a woman whose battle for identity and equality inspired and continues to inspire generations. Lauren Gunderson, one of the most-produced playwrights in America, and director Marc Bruni (The Great Gatsby, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) team up to stage this empowering new look at a living legend who shattered glass ceilings on and off the court.
