The Public Theater lists the running time for this TWELFTH NIGHT as 1:55, no intermission."

 

They must have made major cuts for it to run in that time. It usually runs at least Two Hours and Fifty minutes with intermission.

Romeo the raccoon??  Their mascot?  Was this always a thing?

Romeo is new, but the Public Theater first sent out a fundraising email from the Delacorte Raccoons in 2023. I spoke to a woman who worked in marketing for the Public Theater at last year's flea market and told her that I thought that approach was really clever and that I would love to see a poster or merch created from raccoon graphic they used in that email. Lo and behold, I received an email from Creative Goods yesterday announcing new Shakespeare in the Park merch with the raccoons! 

I love that they are leaning into this, but I don't love a chopped up Twelfth Night.

Okay, well, the show is absolutely delightful. I thought the length was perfect. I don’t know enough about the script to know what was cut, but it’s a great night.

I really can’t wait to see it. What time did you line up?

Posted: 8/8/25 at 11:59pm

Around 5:50-6:00 this morning. I was around 60 or so in line I would guess.

I usually wait in line in the park, but I notice that two of the borough distribution sites are near me up in Washington Heights.  Are the lines usually as long there? Do you have to get there as early?  Thx.

According to Reddit, the Harlem distribution line this morning was 330 strong by 8:30.

I was there around 7:50 and the line wasn't even at 50 people. It doubled and then tripled very quickly though. After I got my ticket vouchers the line was no less  then 4 blocks long. A lot of line jumpers and people trying to be sneaky and join the line while asking questions and trying to "make friends".  I'm a little sad that Harlem distribution locations are no longer a best kept secret. Was more or less an easy ticket in the past.

This just seems like the worst possible way to distribute tickets.

Yeah I’m good. I see excellent Shakespeare at the Shakespeare theater of NJ, not trying to stand in line in the blazing sun for hours. The only way I’m seeing this production is if I win the todaytix lottery.  Thankfully it’ll be filmed for PBS
