Shakespeare's R&J September 29, 2011

Six prep-school students discover a forbidden copy of Romeo & Juliet begin to read the play. In this refreshing production we experience them slip deeper into self-expression as they go first from adolescent mocking to soulful re-enactment as the magic of the play takes hold. The rigidity of their lives begins to parallel the lives of the characters in the play as perceptions forever change, the fun of play acting turns serious, and the words and meanings begin to hit home. Two completely different casts, one all male, the other all female. Performed on alternate nights and pulsating with the adolescent abandonment of which Shakespeare himself would approve.
