Winter 2014 – Spring 2015 Shakespeare in NYC

December 1, 2014 by Steve Mentz 2 Comments

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!

      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?
