Camp Long will host free Shakespeare in the Park this summer. Performances are on the Parade Ground facing Schurman Rock, but parking is limited. Organizer's ask that people park responsibly in the neighborhood.
"The Life and Death of King John," Friday, July 24 at 7 p.m.
This historical piece dramatizes the reign of King John of England (ruled 1199-1216). He is the son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine and the father of Henry III.
The play opens with a plea from the French King Phillip for King John to abdicate in favor of his nephew and includes dizzying changes of alliances, a Papal excommunication and a subsequent reconciliation.
"The Comedy of Errors," Saturday, July 25 at 7 p.m.
This is light, frothy entertainment, driven by coincidence and slapstick humor all in a single day. The story centers around two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth.
When Antipholus and his servant, Dromio, of Syracuse travel to Ephesus, they do not know about Antipholus and his servant Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusan twins encounter the friends and families of the Ephesus twins, there is a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities.
Camp Long is located at 5200 35th Ave. S.W.
