During our intensive two-week shoot in nearby Mission Beach, we took a morning side-trip to also photograph in San Diego’s famed zoo and Balboa Park. Shakespeare’s plays have been performed in this park as far back as 1935. Today, the Old Globe Theatre, part of the Simon Edison Centre for the Performing Arts, carries on the tradition. A contemporary statue of Shakespeare is set off in wooded area nearby. In this image, I’ve tried to make the greatest of all playwrights seem to come alive before us by relating the sculpture to the surrounding foliage.
