Sweatin’ to the Really Oldies

Posted on June 6, 2003

Those of you unfortunate enough to live in NYC might want to check this out: Shakespeare on the Run is a theatre group that is mounting a production of “Much Ado About Nothing” in Central Park. Nothing new there, but their approach to staging is — while you watch one scene, the next scene is getting ready to start, 50 feet away. When it’s time for that scene, the whole audience runs over to it, and that one starts while the next one gets ready, and so on. Every 5-7 minutes the audience has to pick up and run, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes!
