The Public Theater continuing five decades of free theater in Central Park this summer with Shakespeare at the Delacorte Theater.
The Public’s 2013 free Shakespeare in the Park season will begin on Tuesday, May 28 with The Comedy of Errors, featuring Shakespeare in the Park alumni Jesse Tyler Ferguson (“Modern Family”) as Dromio and Hamish Linklater (“The New Adventures of Old Christine”) as Antipholus. Ferguson and Linklater last performed together in The Winter’s Tale and The Merchant of Venice in 2010 for The Public’s Shakespeare in the Park. Directed by Daniel Sullivan, The Comedy of Errors will run for five weeks through Sunday, June 30.
The second show of the Park season will be a new musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Love's Labor's Lost, directed by Alex Timbers, who adapts the book, with songs by Michael Friedman. Timbers and Friedman last collaborated on the award-winning musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and Timbers will direct the new David Byrne musical Here Lies Love this spring at The Public’s downtown home at Astor Place. Love'Labor's Lost will begin performances on Tuesday, July 23 and run through Sunday, Aug. 18.
Bank of America sponsors the park series. Free tickets are distributed, two per person, at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park on the day of the show. The Public Theater will again offer free tickets through ourVirtual Ticketing lottery at www.shakespeareinthepark.org on the day of the show.
