Freddie's Free Pick Three The Comedy of Errors by The Public
This weekend is the last chance to catch Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors staring Jesse Tyler Ferguson ("Modern Family"). It's part of The Public's annual Free Shakespeare in the Park and has received absolutely outstanding reviews from everything New York (Magazine, Times, even New York 1). The show is really Shakespeare at its best: witty, funny, and accessible to all. The show begins at 8:30 PM so hopefully the weather holds (they NEVER cancel for rain unless it's pouring without a glimpse of salvation). You can even order a picnic in advance (so quaint).
