This year's Shakespeare in the Park at the Delacorte Theatre two shows were The Merchant of Venice and The Winter's Tale.
We missed the first show's interpreted performance because we were up at the lake, so unfortunately didn't get to see Al Pacino portray Shylock. Oh well.
In The Winter's Tale, the most famous of all stage directions, 'Exit, pursued by a bear' refers to the sudden departure of Antigonus. Don't think you could get more explicit than that. You go Shakespeare.
Maria was one in a team of tactile interpreters to provide access for a few deaf people with additional vision loss for The Winter's Tale. The show was good, but it is kind of a weird play. You can read a brief review here. The set was incredible, and really? Any show in the open-air Delacorte is a positive experience.
