The Tempest and Romeo and Juliet in Central Park
Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
Two bronze statues decorate the entrance to the Delacorte Theater in Central Park - the Tempest and Romeo and Juliet.
The Tempest by Milton Hebald was placed in the Park in 1966. The bronze statue on granite pedestal depicts Prospero, the magician, sheltering his daughter Miranda with one hand and casting a spell with the other.
The Romeo and Juliet statue, also by Milton Hebald, was added to the Park in 1977. The sculpture shows Juliet in Romeo's arms.
Shakespeare in the Park offers free performances at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park every the summer.
