This year’s season of Shakespeare in the Park is set to present powerful productions of The Winter’s Tale and The Merchant of Venice, starring Al Pacino as Shylock. Paula Scher of Pentagram has designed the festival’s promotional campaign, currently going up on buses and in subways and train stations all over New York City. Unlike recent past seasons, which featured a pair of plays staged separately in the early and late summer, this year’s plays are being presented in repertory throughout the season. Scher’s campaign focuses on the evocative language in both plays, pulling lines from each to meet in a dimensional explosion of words and typography.
This is Scher’s 16th year designing the campaign; she designed her first poster for Shakespeare in the Park in 1994.

As usual the two plays are largely unrelated, but one thing they have in
common this year is transvestism: lead characters in both plays don
drag, hence the campaign tagline “Cross-Dressing in the Park.” The
posters feature a Greek sculpture accessorized with a Shakespearean rose
and mustachioed with a fine calligraphic line. Designed by Paula Scher
and Lisa Kitschenberg, the campaign uses elements of the Public’s refreshed identity and complements our campaign for last summer’s productions of Hamlet and Hair.
