The HBO feature documentary, REOPENING NIGHT, follows the cast, crew and staff of the world-famous Public Theater as they prepare to mount an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Merry Wives" at the open-air Delacorte Theater in New York City. Contending with the ever-present threat of COVID-19 and one of the rainiest Julys on record, the production marks the return of live theatre following more than a year of closures in the city. Their pursuit to bring back a longstanding beloved New York City tradition is an audacious gamble for the theater which has served as the creative heartbeat of New York City for almost six decades.
