Shakespeare in Forest Park

July 23, 2010 Leave a comment

I am re-posting this from Queens Central’s Forums in case you missed it. Sounds like a nice way to spend a — hopefully not too hot — Sunday.
***********

“Some friends of mine are doing an all-boroughs parks tours of “Much Ado About Nothing.” This Sunday, they’re coming to Forest Park – and it’s FREE. Come and check it out!”

Black Henna Productions is proud to announce our Summer Parks Tour of William Shakespeare’s MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING!

Running in several New York City parks on 7/24, 7/25, 7/30, 7/31, and 8/1, Much Ado is Shakespeare’s classic tale of love, laughter, and even a bit of treachery (both good-natured and sinister). Join us at the luxurious “Club Messina”, and watch as Claudio woos Hero, Beatrice spars with Benedick, and all the while Donna Joan plots revenge on the Prince and his companions. Listen to the melodious strumming of The Friar, and lounge on the sun deck with a boat drink and a bottle of suntan lotion – but remember, no running by the pool.
