Romeo & Juliet

How often do you get to see a professional production of Romeo and Juliet with teenagers playing the teenagers and adults playing the adults. Stoneham Theatre's first foray into Shakespeare is motivated in part by the opportunity to pair up actors from the young company - our year-round education program - with a stellar collection of professional actors. The setting and dress is contemporary - perhaps somewhere in the mid 1990s? - but the language is unchanged. The result is a Romeo and Juliet that loses none of the romance and tragedy but discovers new insights into how contemporary families function and how they fail. Appropriate for middle school students and above.
