Hip to Hip presents a free, outdoor staging of Shakespeare's dark comedy about a woman who refuses to let go of the groom she is owed.
Having restored the King's health with a miraculous potion, Helena requests Count Bertram's hand in marriage in return. But when the arrogant Bertram refuses to marry beneath his class and flees from both King and bride to the nearest war, Shakespeare's courageous heroine must stop at nothing to bring him home. Meanwhile, Bertram's friends hilariously unmask the swashbuckling braggart Parolles.
Hip to Hip tours its program of Free Shakespeare in the Park to thirteen parks throughout all five boroughs of NYC. Consult their website for a schedule and locations.
