Four Actors.
Two Households.
One Absolute Banger.
What was Shakespeare before stage lights, microphones and the Fourth Wall? Before he was revered and canonized, Shakespeare’s plays were raucous, irreverent and relevant. When first staged in 1596, Romeo and Juliet referenced contemporary politics and the eternal human condition.
Much has changed since the 16th century, yet The Tragedie of Romeo and Juliet remains poignant and powerful — an autocratic Prince, an optimistic proselytizer, a loving nurse, and two star-crossed lovers.
This summer, whether you’re in Verona or Toronto, one thing is certain: The day is hot, the Capulets abroad.
