Romeo and Juliet

Inside the intimate space nestled within the Chopin Theatre basement, a group of four actors are putting on a production of Romeo and Juliet unlike any other. Sean Graney’s Romeo and Juliet begins with elements from Shakespeare’s classic play and Felice Romani’s libretto for the opera I Capuleti e I Montecchi. Those are then put through a modern language filter and staged in what looks like someone’s basement in the ’70s, a space designed by the actors.
