The School of Theatre and Dance Presents "Romeo and Juliet"
- Kent
Adapted from Shakespeare by Doug McClure
Directed by Paul Hurley
April 15 -25 | Wright-Curtis Theatre
Here is love's greatest story and history's greatest play made accessible for modern performers. This is not a cutting or reworking, but a version for those interested in producing a full Shakespearean work without losing their audience in archaic phrases and obscure references. The famous speeches all retain their original language, but difficult or confusing passages have been translated to formal, modern, English, while maintaining the original rhyme schemes and meters. This is a version that leaves both audience and actors satisfied while immersing them in a great work of art.
ROMEO AND JULIET is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
