  I'm Jeff London, and I'm in the heart of New York City's Central Park,

• 00:56

  right next to a theater which has presented free Shakespeare in the Park for more than 60 years.

  The Delacorte Theater has been closed for the past 18 months for a big renovation,

  Twelfth Night.

  At 8.30 in the morning, there's a long, winding line of people,

• 01:46

  Many, many years.
