Shakespeare in the Park featuring Anthony Mackie
I was chatting with Anthony Mackie @ Tillman’s last night about his new film Hurt Locker & he mentioned to me that he would be participating in Shakesphere in the Park starting August 11th. Mackie will play the lead role of ‘Pentheus’ in The Bacchae. I’m looking forward to checking it out. -!YG

JoAnne Akalaitis returns to The Public Theater to present Greek tragedy as it was always meant to be seen – in the open air of the city. This visionary interpretation, featuring a lush choral score by Philip Glass, re-imagines the classic story about what happens when a government attempts to outlaw desire.
