Mass Is Class: The Public Theater and Crowd Surfing

I had a cocktail party at my home last Thursday for the Public Theater, a New York City institution founded by a son of immigrants and dedicated to the proposition that culture should be available to all. Joseph Papp, who grew up in the Yiddish-speaking enclave of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, taught himself English by reading Shakespeare. This proved the inspiration for his commitment to offering Shakespeare in the Park free to all who would come (first in Central Park, then in the outer boroughs).

Noted actor, Sam Waterston, who met his wife while performing at the Public in the early 70s, then was in a production thirty years later of Much Ado About Nothing with his daughter, brilliantly recited a passage from The Tempest, which was the highlight of my party. Prospero, having outmaneuvered his evil brother and regained his dukedom, married off his eligible daughter and restored order from comedic chaos, says: November 24, 2008  Richard Edelman
