Tony Award nominee Ato Blankson-Wood (Slave Play) will take on the title role of Hamlet this summer, starring in the Public Theater’s extended, nine-week Free Shakespeare in the Park production at The Delacorte Theater in Central Park. Kenny Leon will direct. The Public describes the production as “a riveting, contemporary post-Covid take on Shakespeare’s classic tale of family and betrayal, as enduring as the stars above Central Park.”
