THE TRAGEDY OF RICHARD II

Raised to believe his every thought is sanctioned by God, King Richard is dangerously out of touch. When his cousin Henry Bolingbroke challenges Richard for the throne, it's a fight the king can't win. But in losing his crown he gains his humanity and his soul. Run time: 95 minutes.

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS

Double trouble is double the fun! Two pairs of long-lost twins end up in the same small town. Delight in the confusion as mistaken identities and goofy hijinks mount until chaos reigns. Spoiler alert: this one has a happy ending. Run time: 90 minutes.

This program is made possible in part with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

All performances are free and open to the public.
Running time: 90 minutes.
Fun for the whole family.
Bring a blanket or low chair and picnic fare
and enjoy a Shakespeare play in the open air.
