Reopening Night

"Reopening Night" is a gripping behind-the-scenes look at the Public Theater's daring production of an all-black adaptation of Shakespeare's "Merry Wives," set against the backdrop of New York City's COVID-19 pandemic and one of the wettest Jules on record. As the cast, crew, and staff navigate the challenges of reopening live theatre after over a year of closures, they push the boundaries of artistic expression and resilience. The documentary follows their journey as they strive to bring this bold production to life.
