star-cross'd lovers

i have been meaning to see the latest shakespeare in the park for so long and i just found out that its closing this coming sunday! "romeo and juliet", starring lauren ambrose (of "six feet under") and some dude named oscar isaac, is playing in central park's delacorte theater for free as part of the public theater's annual summer shakespeare series. tickets can be retrieved after waiting in line from 1pm-3pm at the public on lafayette or starting at 1pm at the delacorte.

i saw ambrose last year in "awake and sing!", and she was nothing special, however reviews say that this performance is more promising. plus there's supposed to be 70-foot-wide pool dominating the stage, so i'm wondering what that looks like. and, what better way is there to see a tale of star-cross'd lovers than under the stars in central park. i saw "macbeth" there last summer and it is an amazing experience watching theater amidst towering trees and the night sky.



get in line now so you can see it before it closes on sunday.
