Twelfth Night

It has been a long history for Shakespeare's play to play at Central Park. At recent years, the cast in the plays are no longer unknown actors and actress, but established TV or movie stars. They play "Twelfth Night" this year. With their acting method that directly derived from TV sitcom, it now plays more like a 2-hour long TV special than a Shakespeare play. Nevertheless, it is a great opportunity to expose wider audience to Shakespeare, although most of them would have to wait in line for at least a couple hours under the sun to get tickets.
