A unique way to see Shakespeare in Central Park
"I always tell them a little hustle will always get you a front row seat and every seat in this house is the best seat in this house because you always choose your own seat," said Christopher Carter of the Gorilla Repertory Theater Company.
During the performance, the cast plays out each scene in a different section of the grassy area.
That means you get up and move, literally follow along. The result is an intense interaction between actor and audience.
"What I tell New York actors is if you've ever looked out at an audience and only seen the glare of the lights and wondered if they were with you -- let me tell you, if 300 New Yorkers are running towards you at full speed, you know they're with you," carter said.
Free Shakespeare in the Park isn't a new concept. The public theater taking over the Delacorte is a summertime tradition, but it's become so popular many people can't get tickets.
