"Anyway: it's a bit hard to describe our bear solution." -- Grumblebee

Theatre Grumblebee comments at Metafilter on staging the bear in Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale: "But that does make stuff like the "Winter's Tale" bear challenging. How do you create a bear with no bear costume, no special effects, etc? Sure, you can have an actor act like a bear, and it is a comic moment in the play, but I wanted the audience to laugh with us, not at us."
