Shakespeare’s R&J

Adapted by Joe Calarco
Directed by Jennifer M. Spieler

September 7^th – 30^th, 2018

A rigid boys boarding school becomes the setting for a powerful and unorthodox reenactment of Shakespeare’s immortal tale of doomed lovers breaking tradition, seeking forbidden desires, and painfully coming of age. This high-voltage, all-male adaptation of Romeo and Juliet becomes a provocative examination of adolescents declaring war on all the “thou shalt nots” in their stifling world.

Hot-blooded … wrenching … [it] pulsates with an adolescent abandon and electricity of which Romeo might approve.
