The Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival continues to offer its free annual 'Shakespeare by the Sea' outdoor professional production of Shakespeare’s works for over thirty consecutive years. It has become a summer tradition for the residents and visitors of South Florida. The events draw up to 10,000 people for each two-weekend run. Having established the annual, summer tradition for the residents and visitors of South Florida, PBSF worked with the county, the Palm Beach County Commission, and Parks and Recreation on the construction of its permanent home, the Seabreeze Amphitheatre in Carlin Park, Jupiter, FL which debuted in 2008 with A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM. PBSF has toured throughout South Florida and partnered with every major cultural organization in Palm Beach County in its mission to bring the works of William Shakespeare and the experience of live theatre to everyone. #pbshakes @pbshakespeare

Oh man, you're doing the play version for GCSEs this year? I didn't do it for GCSEs specifically, but during my English class for the year before (same group at my school) we read the book and compared it to the movie, but never touched the play. I didn't get around to watching it (this production specifically) until the pandemic, but the play is easily my favourite version of the three.
Absolutely phenomenal, i loved this! The actors are so talented, the lighting is impeccable, the sound effects always on point and the costumes were really well suited! I really enjoyed this, and it was EXCEPTIONALLY useful for my GCSE in Drama, as I couldn't find any other full showing of this, so well filmed anywhere! Thank you!! Much appreciated!
I saw this play twice in London 7 years ago. I found it truly extraordinary. I had no idea that a play could be so frightening ! The actors were so talented! I hope one day I'll have the chance to see it again.
Im a bit confused. Did this production actually go on in 2020? If so, how? Did covid not happen in Florida? Did Florida just pretend it wasn't happening?
I'm assuming, since it says it went on then, it actually did. Why would a professional company lie about that? Seems a strange assumption to make. COVID absolutely happened in Florida. All of the actors seem to be social-distancing (you'll see they're pretty far apart from one another the entire time), and there is no audience, which means this was recorded in an empty theatre, and so likely the only the public could see this production was this recording. Thankfully for all of us, it's still up!
Watch the movie version on TV yesterday and it was terrifying. The scene when the Woman in Black screams remind me of a play I saw in London way back during the late 90's. Surprisingly it was actually the play version of a same title 😁👍🏼
watching this for an art assignment, we have to illustrate a shakespeare character of our choice and i wanted to do someone out of a midsummer night's dream because designing these guys seemed like a ton of fun. enamored with this rendition of puck & her unhinged energy especially
I have apparently watched the movie with Michelle Pfeiffer and the others many times as I know much of the dialogue. I am watching this for my humanities class. Mercy I love this play. I am only a little ways in and I love this rendition.
