Shakespeare Unraveled at Circle Festival in Tribeca

Circle Theater Festival’s Shakespeare Unraveled slot delivers three unique explorations of Shakespeare’s female characters—The Winter’s Tale, Verona Falls, and The Weird Sisters. While each production offers something distinct, the results mix potential and execution. The Winter’s Tale, directed by Isabel Criado and Mira Bahgat, stays true to the original text and explores a father-daughter reunion. Verona Falls offers an exciting new twist on the world of Romeo and Juliet. Written by Nadel Henville, the play imagines a future where Romeo returns from exile to find Juliet married to Paris. The most visually compelling production, The Weird Sisters, brings audiences into the heart of 1977 New York City during a blackout. These three productions make the Shakespeare Unraveled slot a showcase for promising new voices and creative reinterpretations.
