VIDEO: Phylicia Rashad Reads Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 For the Public's Brave New Shakespeare Challenge

Inspired by the joyous ways the world community is responding to this challenging time by creating performance, song, conversation, and connection, The Public Theater is inviting the world to use Shakespeare's words to connect with friends, family, and communities, all from their homes.

Actors and artists of The Public Theater family are invited to record and share their interpretation of the week's passage - and then IT'S UP TO YOU! Act out the passage, set it to music, dance to it, paint a picture, or translate it into your own words and language.

For Week 1 - Phylicia Rashad is reading Sonnet 29. Check out the video!
