I was asked recently for a list of Shakespeare and other early modern plays that I’m planning to see this upcoming season in New York. I decided to do a blog post in case other people would like to see what’s on my radar. I’m sure there are other things that I’m missing, and I welcome suggestions. Stay tuned for blog reviews!

Thanks Steve, really useful. I might be back in New York in late April so may see the last few. Stuart
Let me know if you’ll be in NYC in April, Stuart! If you get in before “Cry, Trojans” closes on the 18th– a production of part of Troilus & Cressida by the Wooster Group — maybe we can see it together?
