BOARDWALK BARD: The Brave New World Repertory Theatre performed Shakespeare's "The Tempest" on Coney Island.
Brooklyn -
The actors ran barefoot on a sandy beach and projected their lines over the cries of seagulls. The audience sat in 1,500 white folding chairs on a boardwalk across from a mural of Henry Hudson’s landing on Coney Island.
This was not a typical production of “The Tempest.”
