You can head to Central Park to see the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park, or you can wait for the Public to come to you as its Mobile Unit travels through all five boroughs with a stripped-down version of Shakespeare's ardent comedy about the forest romps of an ousted duke, his cross-dressing daughter and her lovestruck swain. Emma Rosa Went directs a cast of 10. The tour begins at Astor Place (June 4–6) before wending its way through the rest of the city and concluding in Prospect Park (June 27, 28); a full schedule is on the Public's website.
