Description

After a summer on the road while the Delacorte Theater in Central Park underwent renovations, the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park returns to its original home with just one show—Twelfth Night—performed over nearly six weeks. Tony-nominated Saheem Ali directs the comedy, which stars acting heavyweights including Bill Camp, Peter Dinklage, Lupita Nyong’o, Sandra Oh and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Note that there is also a mobile performance of Much Ado About Nothing at locations around the City earlier in the summer.
