Michael Stuhlbarg and Michael Cumpsty will read selections from Shakespeare’s love poetry in A Shakespeare Valentine, to be held on February 11 at 7pm at Barnes and Noble’s Tribeca store. The event will be moderated by Barry Edelstein, director of the Public’s Shakespeare Initiative.

In addition, Edelstein will offer commentary from his book Bardisms: Shakespeare for All Occasions, which will be published in paperback the same week as the event.
A Shakespeare Valentine will also mark the start of a special Public Theater / Barnes and Noble “Bookfair”: a percentage of the price of any books purchased at the Tribeca Barnes and Noble will be donated to the Public Theater in support of the educational outreach programs of the Shakespeare Initiative.
