Free Shakespeare in the Park: "Julius Caesar"

We caught Wednesday night's performance of "Julius Caesar" in Central Park. The smart-looking production was intensely comic, then tragic—although I'm not sure those two elements meshed seamlessly in this particular case. Nevertheless, it was thought-provoking and well worth an evening.

"There goes my view of the obelisk!"

"But next week's trip to Easter Island is nonrefundable!"
"Stop staring at me!"
"But it's way too soon for the Bloomberg Monument!"
