In anticipation of this summer’s Shakespeare in the Park production of As You Like It, The Shakespeare Society joins forces with The Public Theater to take a celebratory look at Shakespeare’s exploration and transformation of the pastoral tradition. Stretching back to the 3rd century B.C.E. the pastoral’s world of poetry, myth, heartsick shepherds and the riches of simplicity has captured the imagination of some of the world’s greatest authors. With readings by members of the Central Park cast, including STEPHEN SPINELLA, and commentary by literary historian PAUL ALPERS, author of the award-winning What Is Pastoral?
