Frigid New York presents pares down the Bard in a festival dedicated to Shakespeare-inspired shows with casts of five or less. This year's festival, running from Aug. 3-20, focuses on performances that celebrate or center gender diversity in the Bard's canon. These might be shows where roles traditionally played by cis men are opened to all genders, where male characters have their gender changed, bent, or broken, or where non-male characters usually left to the sidelines are brought into the spotlight.
Shows include Shrew You!, Lady Capulet, As You Will, and Double Bill: Shakespeare's Deaths & Shakespeare's Ladies at Tea. Performances are at Under St. Mark's, and most shows are also available to livestream from home.
