In partnership with The Public Theater and The New York Public Library, Bryant Park hosts the Mobile Unit’s production of Shakespeare's beloved romantic comedy MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. From Tuesday, May 28, through Sunday, June 2, enjoy free Shakespeare on the Fifth Avenue Terrace.
Director Rebecca Martínez and composer Julián Mesri (Mobile Unit's The Comedy of Errors) reunite for their third consecutive year. This bilingual, 90-minute, family-friendly take on the classic tale of love, deception, and misunderstandings blends Latine influences, original music, and Shakespeare’s timeless wit.
All performances take place outdoors. Chair seating is available, but seating is limited, and general admission is on a first-come, first-served basis, and is not guaranteed. There is no ticket distribution, and a reservation is not required.
