Lonely Planet review for Delacorte Theater
Every summer the Joseph Papp Public Theater presents its famous and fabulous free productions of Shakespeare in the Park at Delacorte Theater, which Papp began back in 1954, before the lovely, leafy, open-air theater was even built. Thrilling productions mounted there recently, with celebrities in leading roles, include The Merchant of Venice, The Winter’s Tale and Romeo and Juliet.
