The Bard

Shakespeare in Delaware Park 

"Pray you sit by us and tell's a tale.", requests the character Hermione in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale". Shakespeare in Delaware Park is telling that tale, now in its first week of performances. The hill below the Rose Gardens off Lincoln Parkway becomes an amphitheater welcoming lovers of The Bard. With blankets for chairs and stars for footlights, pack your picnic baskets for tragedy or comedy. Isn't it romantic? 40 years after first performing "The Winter's Tale", SIDP is set to sing poetry into our hearts once more, with another summer of great performances 6 days a week and free to all. Donations are welcome and if a thespian with an old-timey change purse approaches you, be a love and toss them a sovereign. Two great productions every summer. "Taming of the Shrew" starts July 28.
