Shakespeare on the Common


Free performances of Shakespeare are held every summer on the Boston Common. They are wonderful and the Taming of the Shrew (done in a quirky but very fun and irreverant North End style!) was great in 2006. Bring a picnic dinner, low chairs or a blanket, patience and an inclination to sit under the stars. This year is As You Like It and the performances will be held on the evenings of July 18 through August 3. Check ahead for a weather report and take the T. Read the Boston Globe update for complete information, including some history of the project.
