A few of my favorite places to see Shakespeare in New York:
Red
Bull Theater
A New York-based theater company
specializing in Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
I’ve reviewed their productions of “The Revenger’s
Tragedy” (2006), “Edward II” (2007), and "Women Beware Women" (208) for Shakespeare
Bulletin.
The
Brooklyn Academy of Music
Probably the best place in New York
to see Shakespeare, BAM hosts British troupes like
the RSC and (best of all) Propeller. I reviewed Propeller’s Twelfth
Night (2006) and the RSC King Lear (2007)
for Shakespeare Bulletin. The latest at BAm is the Bridge Project, whose "Winter's Tale" I reviewed in 2008, and who are bringing "As You Like It" and "The Tempest" to Brooklyn in early 2010.
Theater
for a New Audience
A thriving new New York-based company.
My "Shakespeare and Islam" class went to see their “Antony and Cleopatra”
in March 2008, and I'm taking another class to see "Measure for Measure" in February 2010.
Shakespeare
NYC
Another New York-based company.
I reviewed their “Macbeth” (2007) for Shakespeare
Bulletin.
