There’s more free Shakespeare on the pier this weekend, as the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy presents Random Access Theater’s production of the comedy Much Ado About Nothing at the Granite Prospect, Pier 1, starting at 7:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Set in colonial Macau, this production explores Much Ado’s wickedly enjoyable themes of love, intrigue, power, betrayal, and wit with a talented culturally diverse cast and a vivid Chinese/Portuguese inspired design concept.
Want to jump start the weekend with some stargazing? Volunteers from the Amateur Astronomers Association will be on the Pier 1 promenade with their telescopes this evening (Thursday, June 27) from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. to show you sights in the sky, weather permitting.
