Annie Parisse in Shakespeare in the Park

Annie Parisse (known to some of us as Julia from As the World Turns) will be appearing in The Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park this summer in Central Park, NYC. The company will be performing All's Well that Ends Well and Measure for Measure in repertory from June 6 through July 30. For more information and to buy tickets, see The Public Theater's website.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
A fairytale for grown-ups, this beguiling fable follows the low-born Helena, one of Shakespeare's most resourceful heroines, as she inventively surmounts obstacle after impossible obstacle in order to win the love of the aristocratic and haughty Count Bertram.

MEASURE FOR MEASURE
Measure sweeps from the corridors of national power to the intimate confines of the bedroom, and from the convent's chapel to the executioner's block. It is Shakespeare at his grittiest: a bracing and bawdy glimpse of what happens when those in power allow their basest human impulses to range unchecked.
