Shakespeare on the Subway

NYTimes.com: But on a recent Sunday afternoon a woman stopped abruptly just outside the doors of a downtown train on the N and R line, frozen by the sight of two men rolling wildly along the car’s floor, their hands grappling for purchase as they yelled at each other in a foreign (yet perhaps also familiar) tongue. She backed away, uncertain, until a young woman standing just inside the doors whispered: “It’s O.K. They’re acting.” Act V, Scene 3 of “Romeo and Juliet,” to be precise.
