FREE Shakespeare in Tallman Park

An alliance of The Children’s Shakespeare Theatre and the NYS Parks Commission

 For the first time in it’s history, Tallman Mountain State Park will be hosting free performances of two plays: The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) and The Merry Wives of Windsor.  These performances will be open to the public and will offer an opportunity to enjoy some lighthearted comedy under the sky in the beautiful setting of one of Rockland County’s natural treasures.

The Merry Wives of Windsor is one of Shakespeare’s most delightful comedies, here re-imagined in a modern setting. Journey back to a time when life was simpler... a time of poodle skirts and swell parties and rockin' around the clock. This updated and light-hearted production of the Merry Wives of Windsor is a delightful mash-up of I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, The Little Rascals and Happy Days all rolled into one! Mr. Falstaff is an outsider and he comes to the small town of Windsor thinking to fool the locals in to giving him whatever he wants. But he finds more than he bargained for in a couple of sharp-witted ladies and  some crazy examples of the American melting-pot. Don't miss this happy romp through the 1950s set to a soundtrack that will have you itching to get up and twist the night away. This production features The Rogue Players, the teen company of The Children’s Shakespeare Theatre.
