Broadway Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"There’s a whole lot of yelling going on in the country of Sicilia, where the king’s psychotic jealousy has put everyone on edge. In Michael Greif’s emotionally blunt production of “The Winter’s Tale” at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, voices are raised to the heavens in agitation, indignation, supplication, imprecation and protestation. In this mythical land of wonder and woe, the motto seems to be that if you have something to say, say it with volume."

BLOOMBERG REVIEW:

"“The Winter’s Tale” may be Shakespeare’s hardest play to stage, but Michael Greif’s uneven direction at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, starless, mis- and undercast, makes the task seem harder still. "

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:

"Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, currently being presented by the Public Theater as part of its 2010 Shakespeare in the Park season at the Delacorte Theater, is well known for its curious combination of comedy and tragedy. In Michael Greif's disappointingly uneven production, however, the comic bits are allowed to shine brightly, while the dramatic power of the piece remains largely untapped. "

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:

""The Winter's Tale" is one of Shakespeare's "problem" plays, what with its clashing mashup of searing tragedy, frothy comedy and head-scratching 11th-hour enchantment."

CURTAIN UP REVIEW:

"It seems like just yesterday that this play was being performed at Shakespeare in the Park. Checking my notes, I see that it was, not the sixteen years between the two "halves" of The Winter's Tale, but nonetheless a full decade ago. (That review is linked below, and adds much detail on the story that's not repeated here.) Time has indeed, as Shakespeare says, used its wings."
