Shakespeare in the Park Friday Evening

The Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey's Next Stage Ensemble will be performing a one-hour abridge LIVE performance of Henry V by William Shakespeare on the lawn of River Edge Public Library Friday, July 19, 7 p.m. 

Henry V brings history to life in the gripping coming-of-age story of a new king and his nation. The young and inexperienced Henry of England, threatened by rebellious nobles and the military might of France, leads a ragtag band of soldiers in a desperate attempt to save his throne and consolidate his power. Shakespeare's play is a strirring commentary on patriotism, courage and the qualities that make a great leader and nation.

This event is free and open to the public. No tickets are necessary. This event is co-sponsored by Friends of the River Edge Library and the River Edge Cultural Center. Come early, bring a picnic dinner, and watch the performers set up their stage. 

In case of inclement weather, the performance will be held inside the library. 
This performance is appropriate for ages 12 and up.

River Edge Library is located at 685 Elm Ave., River Edge.
