Romeo and Juliet: Staged Reading
March 31 | 7p
OutrSpaces
This workshop production examines Shakespeare’s greatest love story, Romeo and Juliet. Using an all female cast, while keeping the traditional character gender assignments intact, the performance will investigate those who dare to love in a world deeply entrenched in hate, discrimination, and senseless violence. An abbreviated exploration of the play, this unique physical reading will engage the audience in active discussion about identity and the human experience throughout the story. Inspired by the gender bending The Capulets and the Montagues, this dynamic event will bring a new perspective to the classic star-crossed lovers.
In partnership with Sarah Brown/Juno's Swans.
