It’s Free Theater in the Park, but New Yorkers Are Still Paying a Price

New York Times: "Scores of New Yorkers who have seen “Mother Courage and Her Children” since the play began Aug. 8 have paid to see it, not with dollars and cents, but with a good night’s rest. The Shakespeare in the Park play, presented by the Public Theater, has created a kind of theatergoers’ endurance test, as people like Mr. Suker camp out overnight 24 hours before Ms. Streep steps onstage, hoping to get a ticket for one of the theater’s 1,872 seats."
