Shakespeare on the Run

So last week, I’m riding the loop in Central Park with Mr TBTAM, and a woman dressed in period costume crosses our path. I follow her and find a production of King Lear taking place under a nearby tree!

Its the New York Classical Theater doing their annual free Shakespeare production in the park. The show is an interactive experience, as the audience follows the actors as they move about the park from scene to scene. (Don’t worry – they never go very far afield..).

I wish we had had time to stay, but we were in a hurry that day. Good thing we can still catch Lear in Battery Park between now and July 7. Look for us there…
