Eric Paterniani is back with As You Like It in Bryant Park

Eric is reprising his roles of Le Beau, William and Jacques De Boys in The Drilling Company's critically-praised Steampunk adaptation of "As You Like It," which debuted in Shakespeare in the Parking Lot last summer, to be remounted July 21 to 23 for Bryant Park Presents Shakespeare with its original cast mostly intact and expanded music by Natalie Smith and Andrew Gombas. The production offers delightful lessons of love, starting off in a stately English Victorian world and moving into a Steampunk paradise when the scene shifts from a conventional Duchy to the mythical Forest of Arden. Hamilton Clancy directs.Reviewing the original production, which was staged in the parking lot behind The Clemente on the Lower East Side, The New York Times wrote, "it’s easy to find magic here" and praised the leading performances as "wonderful by any standard.""
