Romeo and Juliet
By William Shakespeare
Directed by David Ivers
June 23 to September 3, 2011
in the Adams Shakespearean Theatre
This timeless tale of “star-cross’d lovers” fills the stage with dashing swordplay and delightful wordplay. From the first blush of forbidden teenage love, to the blooming of a passion that fuels death itself, Shakespeare’s classic love story thrills anew in every generation, with every new production.
