60th Anniversary The Public SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK Announced

Wow! So excited to see Danai Gurira as R3! And with O'Hara directing! Fascinating. I do wish we could've had Saheem Ali's "Richard II" slotted back into the live schedule (they adapted it as an audio production during the pandemic). "Richard II" is far more rarely done, and I actually prefer it over Richard III. But oh well.

I saw the PublicWorks short run of "As You Like It" back in 2017. I thought it was just ok. Somewhat messier than her Twelfth Night, but also somewhat more interesting in its staging and adaptation.

Danai Gurira is absolutely inspired casting. Wow.

Very exciting. Hopefully by the Summer things will feel a bit more normal.

The puppets were fun but I don't really feel the need to see this one again. I wonder if there are plans to record either production.
