The Return of Jezebel James

Lauren Ambrose has been playing Juliet in Central Park. If you’re in New York and haven’t seen this yet, time is running out, because the production continues for only 3 more weeks.

But the reviews have begun to appear in the blogosphere. Here are 3 reviews of the play:

• Mirka tells her story and says, “I have never been so highly aware of how much Juliet escalated the impetuous romance.”
• Elizabeth Devlin also weighs in, saying, “Lauren Ambrose strikes us as a most innocent, pure Juliet one can imagine.”
• Nathaniel R. waxes lyrical: “And then there’s the sweetest flower in all this field… Lauren Ambrose as Juliet.”

Do you have a Shakespeare in the Park story?

If you’ve gone through the experience, in order to see Lauren Ambrose play Juliet, I’d love to publish your story! And you do have a story, because everyone has a story:

• How early did you camp out in order to get tickets?
• What happened during the day while you were waiting?
• How did you pass the time?
• Were you with anyone?
• Did you meet any interesting people?
• What was the most prominent thing you remember from the performance?

You don’t have to be a literary genius. In fact, it’s better just to keep it real. Just jot down your story of your day with Shakespeare in the Park, and drop me a note on the JezebelJames.info Contact page. Or alternatively, send your story to submissions@jezebeljames.info.

I look forward to hearing from you!
