30 Days of Shakespeare, Day 21: The Bear

Show me the bear.

I've seen three live productions of The Winter's Tale, two of which had a bear and a very low-budget one of which had Antigonus become the bear (think werewolf, but with bear). I've checked six filmed productions, only one of which had a bear. The others all cheated their way out of having an actual bear on stage. I will not stand for this butchering of Shakespeare's text.
