Free Shakespeare in Queens

Hip to Hip is proud to announce its sixth summer of Free Shakespeare in the Park: HAMLET and COMEDY OF ERRORS will tour in repertory to ten major parks in Queens. Bring a blanket or low chair and picnic fare and enjoy a comedy one week and a tragedy the next, performed by a professional company of actors. Exact times and locations coming soon. HAMLET
Shakespeare's greatest revenge tragedy follows a young prince haunted by his murdered father's ghost and driven to the edge of madness as he grapples to answer the question: to be King, or not to be King.
COMEDY OF ERRORS
What happens when two sets of identical twins, separated from birth, unknowingly end up in the same place, at the same time? A sidesplitting farce that is double the laughter and twice the fun.
