Today, Sunday, July 28 at 12:30 PM, Shakespeare lovers can get a taste of Elizabethan comedy at this summer's free matinee of Shakespeare in the Park with "Verily, Madly, Thine" at Cedar Brook Park in Plainfield, sponsored by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
Performed by the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Shrewd Mechanicals Troupe, this year's Shakespeare "stew" once again provides audiences with an eclectic sampling of the Bard's greatest works. As noted by the troupe:
"... the hour-long program will focus on the special brand of temporary madness that overtakes people when they fall madly in love! ...this year’s production, entitled Verily, Madly, Thine will feature a wonderful array of moments from Shakespeare’s plays as well as a few selections from more contemporary authors who have been inspired by one of Shakespeare’s originals. Verily, Madly Thine also features a delightful sprinkling of music, and in total, these 60 minutes about falling in love will make you fall in love with this delightful and entertaining collection of scenes inhabited by the victims of Cupid’s arrows."
So, head over to the Shakespeare Garden area with your lawn chair and your picnic meal, and enjoy an afternoon of Shakespeare!
