THEATER

Pearl Theater
Directing Shakespeare

"At the beginning of one of New York’s busiest Shakespearean seasons, we sit down with two directors doing the Bard on Broadway. Three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien, who will be directing Ethan Hawke in Macbeth at LCT, and David Leveaux, whose production of Romeo and Juliet with Orlando Bloom will be set to open at the Richard Rogers Theater, share the challenges and rewards of bringing Shakespeare to the Broadway stage."

There are about twenty major theater productions of Shakespeare in New York this season.  Interestingly, they all must sell tickets, draw an audience, and turn a profit.  That means that Shakespeare still has it!

We are going to see as many as we're able.
