MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is a production of The Public Theater’s Mobile Unit, a reinvention of Joseph Papp’s Mobile Shakespeare program – the original impulse of the New York Shakespeare Festival that would grow over decades into Shakespeare in the Park and The Public Theater. The three-week mobile tour will bring free Shakespeare to audiences who have limited or no access to the arts by visiting prisons, homeless shelters, centers for the elderly, and other community venues, including stops at our Public Works community partner venues: Brownsville Recreation Center in Brooklyn, Fortune Society in Queens and DreamYard Project in the Bronx before playing at The Public for this very limited run.
