The 50th Season of Shakespeare in the Park starts tonight with As You Like It, Shakespeare’s famous comedy set in a forest in France. As the Public puts it:
“In As You Like It, Rosalind, Shakespeare’s most breathtaking heroine, and her boyfriend Orlando find themselves in the enchanted Forest of Arden, where all the world’s a stage, and where sudden infatuation is as confusing as it is beautiful.”
Lily Rabe plays Rosalind.
Shows start at 8 p.m. but you’ll have to get there early or win an online lottery if you want tickets (the website has been really slow today). Here’s the schedule.
Also, the Hudson Warehouse is holding its own Shakespeare fest, with Comedy of Errors starting this Thursday in Riverside Park at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument on 89th Street.
If you go, let us know what you think!
