Poets and playwrights have long taken inspiration from urban life and the natural world, hoping to find words to encompass the fullness of humanity. These companion shows, “All the World’s A Stage” and “Where the Sidewalk Ends,” bring together two ideas that highlight the human condition: the various roles we play in public and the freedom to not perform in any role when we are in nature.
