Shakespeare in the Park
TWELFTH NIGHTBy WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Directed by DANIEL SULLIVAN
JUNE 10 - JULY 12
With Michael Cumpsty, Raúl Esparza, Anne Hathaway, Hamish Linklater, Audra McDonald, David Pittu, Jay O. Sanders
This summer kicks off with a powerhouse production of one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. The Public welcomes Academy Award Nominee Anne Hathaway as she makes her Public Theater debut playing Viola, one of the canon’s most charming heroines. This beguiling comedy follows the romantic adventures of Viola and her identical twin Sebastian, both shipwrecked in the enchanted dukedom of Illyria. At the helm of this time-honored story of cross-dressing and mistaken identity, all in the name of love, is Tony Award winning Director Daniel Sullivan.
THE BACCHAE
By EURIPIDES
Directed by JOANNE AKALAITIS
Music by PHILIP GLASS
Translated by NICHOLAS RUDALL
AUGUST 11 - AUGUST 30
JoAnne Akalaitis returns to The Public Theater to present Greek tragedy as it was always meant to be seen – in the open air of the city. This visionary interpretation, featuring a lush choral score by Philip Glass, re-imagines the classic story about what happens when a government attempts to outlaw desire.
