It’s pretty well established now that the skull in the artistic director’s office at the Goodman wasn’t really the skull of comedian Del Close when he was alive, but it’s his now! He donated his skull to the theatre so that he could play Yorick, and the skull they have serves as his, at least symbolically. A fundraiser once offered to show it to me if I donated enough cash, and I finally got to see it over the weekend.
I have an article up today on The Order of the Good Death about it:
