Step inside the historic McKim building at the Central Library in Copley Square for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience where Shakespeare’s words come to life through intimate, pop-up performances across four iconic library spaces.

Each show runs approximately one hour.
Registration is not required but is strongly encouraged, as space is limited in select performance areas.

Join us for Shakespeare at the Boston Public Library on October 6, 8, 13 and 14!

The BPL and Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, @commshakes presents Shakespeare at the Library: Worlds of Imagination, a series of site-specific performances throughout the historic McKim building.

🎭 Performed “pop-up” style, the production unfolds across four iconic spaces within the library. The performance starts at the Dartmouth Street Entrance and continues to the Sargent Gallery, the Abbey Room, and the Courtyard.

Shakespeare at the Library is made possible through generous donors to the Boston Public Library Fund, @bplfund who are committed to elevating public programming in the historic McKim building.
