Three plays. One hour! Plus tasty pairings! Plays include TINY TEMPEST, 1/12TH NIGHT and MIDSUMMER: TEDIOUS & BRIEF.
Lovers of the bard will enjoy the clever ways the plays are compressed as well as the resonances that arise in comparing these three plays.
New to Shakespeare? Just a small taste! No 4-hour commitment.
Each “taste" of the bard is served with a treat! On August 8th & 9th (rooftop performances at Industrious Brooklyn), plays will be paired with Prosecco and ice cream. On August 10th & 11th (outdoor stage performances at The Well), plays will be paired with beer. August 12th & 13th, the plays will be served with cereal pops (Prospect Park).
