An event every week that begins at 12:00 am on Sunday, Friday and Saturday, repeating until September 9, 2018
A loving recalibration of Shakespeare’s eternal classic, Romeo/Juliet puts front and center the pratfalls, perils, pressures, pleasures, and pains of growing up — into our bodies, our beliefs, and our sexuality. Seen wholly through the eyes of its female star-crossed lovers, it whittles Shakespeare’s text into a tender and tragic celebration of youth, and an exploration of how we define desire in a world bound by chains of faith, family, media, and privilege. Romeo/Juliet asks what we honor most – where we came from, or who we are.
