JOHN LITHGOW TO PLAY KING LEAR FOR SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK

It’s hard to imagine anyone acting in Central Park right now, but eventually the snow will disappear and Shakespeare in the Park will return to the Delacorte Theater.

The Public Theater just announced that this summer it plans to put on Much Ado About Nothing featuring Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater and King Lear, featuring John Lithgow.

“Hamish Linklater and Tony nominee Lily Rabe return to the Park this summer as the wise-cracking, would-be lovers Beatrice and Benedick in the beloved romantic comedy MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Central Park becomes sun-drenched Sicily at the turn of the last century, where the heat of summer ignites the fevered passions of lovesick ladies in corsets and pining gentlemen spying from the verandah. Three-time Tony winner Jack O’Brien directs this delightful skirmish of wit between two self-declared bachelors tricked by their mischief-making friends into falling in love against their will and in spite of their own hearts.”

lithgow“Revenge, rage, grief and delusion thunder upon the Delacorte as Tony and Emmy Award winner John Lithgow takes the stage as one of theater’s great tragic heroes, KING LEAR. Tony winner Daniel Sullivan directs Shakespeare’s classic drama about a King who loses everything—including his mind—when he disowns his favorite daughter, and finds himself betrayed in return.”

Now, just click your heels and imagine it’s 75 degrees.
