Shakespeare in the Park
I have a confession to make: I’ve never been to Shakespeare in the Park – but I’ve long been aware of its strong reputation across Europe.
Shakespeare in the Park has been organized by The Public Theater for over 50 years and has entertained over 100,000 people with its free summer productions in Central Park, New York.
This year, The Public Theater are presenting Twelfth Night starring Oscar nominee Anne Hathaway – and the production is already receiving favorable reviews.
The production runs until 12 July and is a must for all Shakespeare enthusiasts. So, be sure to pick up your free ticket if you’re in the area. Heather Cross, About.com’s guide to New York can give you advice on getting your hands on a ticket.
I’d love to hear from some New York residents and discover how important this event is in the city. Does it create a buzz? How has Shakespeare in the Park affected you over the years?

As an Indian I didn’t have the opportunity to attend this celebration but fortunately I got hold of a live recording of a production of King Lear made in the Central Park. It is very good and I like it very much.
