Getting even With Shakespeare has recieved an amazing review from the folks at NYTheatre.com:
"They are quite the ensemble. Well cast and capable they bring a real joy to the stage; it's obvious these guys are having a great time. While the whole cast is consistently fun to watch."--- Peter Schuyler
You can read the full review HERE
Five Shakespearean tragic heroes are in a New York City bar...and they are pissed. According to the laws of metaphysics, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet are required to "attend" every performance of the shows that bear their names. When not reliving their horrible deaths on a nightly basis, the characters spend time at the bar where they drink away their sorrows, settle old scores, and partake in their favorite pastime - plotting revenge on Shakespeare, the man who put them in this very unenviable position. The characters’ four century old routine is thrown into flux when Matt, a 30 year old lawyer and unsuccessful college playwright, enters the bar with an idea that may finally allow them to get even.

"BEST OUTDOOR THEATER: Hudson Warehouse
Sure, Central Park had Anne Hathaway’s star power, but something about Hudson Warehouse’s
Other Free Shakespeare in the Park summer-long series in Riverside Park won us over. Maybe it’s
the lack of a queue, or the arduous three plays in three months schedule (August is A Midsummer
Night’s Dream), but it’s probably a combination of the excellent hardworking cast and the
sunsets over the Hudson that serve as their backdrop that makes these outdoor productions a must."
