Shakespeare in the Park
An excellent production last night of Julius Caesar. It comes at a most propitious moment in time. Lots of parallels to what is going on in our own political landscape. Director Matt Wallace continues to produce some of the most exciting Shakespeare that you are ever likely to see. I have been going to see Shakespeare in the Park since the 1970’s and I can say without reservation that it just keeps getting better and better. The acting is first rate, the direction and staging are superb and the technical aspects such as lighting and sound are first class. Kudos to the costume designer! Kentucky Shakespeare continues to break records for audience attendance. Do yourself a favor and catch one or more of the shows this season. Keep Will Free!
I’ve taken my kids now grown to the Shakespeare in Schiller Park in German Village, mainly Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer’s Nights Dream (great, large fairy puppets which people run through the woods with), As You Like It and Comedy of Errors. My now grown kids loved Taming of the Shrew set in 1800’s with Katherine (Kate) wearing jodhpurs. She had her whip and of course, very feisty. I went twice with my friends and once with an ex. I like the films and the ability to not have to deal with talkers and bugs. I would love to go once a summer, though. 😊 I’m glad you support the arts!
