Teenage Dick
Presented in English
Public Studio at The Public Theater, New York City, New York, USA
March 24-April 2, 2016

“Our Public Studio series concludes this spring with playwright Mike Lew’s fresh new adaption of one of The Bard’s most infamous history plays.

A brilliantly hilarious take on Shakespeare’s classic tale of power lust, Teenage Dick reimagines the most famous disabled character of all time as a 16-year-old outsider in the deepest winter of his discontent: his junior year at Roseland High. Picked on because of his cerebral palsy (as well as his sometimes creepy Shakespearean way of speaking), Richard is determined to have his revenge and make his name by becoming president of the senior class. But as he manipulates and crushes the obstacles to his electoral success, Richard finds himself faced with a decision he never expected would be his to make: is it better to be loved or feared?” –blurb from the company website
