After being empty throughout summer 2020 due to the pandemic, the Delacorte Theater in New York's Central Park will be bringing back one of its most popular traditions.

Starting on July 5 and lasting through August 29, the stage will be presenting free shows of "Shakespeare in the Park," starting off with a new adaptation of the Merry Wives of Windsor.

The new show, written by Jocelyn Bioh and directed by Saheem Ali, will be set in South Harlem among a community of West African immigrants and will be a "celebration of Black joy, laughter, and vitality."

COVID-19 precautions have yet to be announced but they will be released along with free ticket information in the coming weeks with the guidance of city officials and health and safety experts.
