Five-time Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald joined with real-life romantic partner and fellow stage stalwart Will Swenson for a special pre-Valentine's Day reading of William Shakespeare's epic poem VENUS & ADONIS at the Public Theater last night and photos from the event are now available to view.
The official description of VENUS & ADONIS as follows: "Public Forum Drama Club will celebrate Valentine's Day with a reading and discussion of Shakespeare's epic poem about the pleasure and pain of love, Venus and Adonis. The young Adonis is seduced by the goddess Venus, with uncomfortable consequences for all of us. Reading the poem and discussing love in the modern day will be Will Swenson, Audra McDonald, and others."
Of note, VENUS & ADONIS was presented as part of the Public Theater's Public Forum Drama Club Series.
More information on VENUS & ADONIS is available at the official website here.
