magidThis summer, the Publick Theatre is again offering discounted passes for their summer season.
What: The Merchant of Venice, Troilus and Cresida, and a student production of the former, in addition. These two have been chosen to point out the religious and social intolerance in Shakespeare's time, mirroring those issues today.
When: As last summer, the two plays are running throughout the summer, every other week. T and C starts July 8, and I assume Merchant starts the week after.
Performances are Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 7:30 PM and Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM.
Last year, some of us picnicked before one mid-week show, and that would be a pleasant thing to do again.
Where: Along the banks of the Charles. It's outdoor theater, so bug spray is often a good idea, though there are breezes off the water. Rain cancels a performance. If a performance is stopped for rain, you get to go another night instead. Oh, and parking is free.
How (much): This year's passes are $45. This is cheaper than buying individual tickets. Also, subscribers can choose whichever performance fits their calendar, and get premium seating (forward middle section; not only better for watching the play, but also the more comfortable seats, unless they've managed to upgrade more of the wooden bleachers.
Why: Shakespeare! (even if it is Merchant, one of my least favorites)
I want to send in the paperwork by the end of the month. Who's in?
