Free Shakespeare in the Park Starts Tuesday, 6/3
By: Courtnie Mele
New York's most treasured summer tradition, Free Shakespeare in the Park, returns this week and celebrates its 52nd season in Central Park's famous Delacorte Theater.
The first show this summer welcomes back Hamish Linklater and Tony® nominee Lily Rabe to the Park as the wise-cracking, would-be lovers Benedick and Beatrice 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.TICKETS ARE FREE!
