Shakespeare in the Square Will Present Interactive ROMEO AND JULIET at the Gym at Judson

Shakespeare in the Square will soon present The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, running January 14 - February 8 at the Gym at Judson (243 Thompson Street). The production will be directed by Dan Hasse, and will feature Christopher Dooly, Elise Kibler, Constantine Malahias, Taylor Myers, and Jack De Sanz.

SITS writes: "Romeo and Juliet marks Shakespeare in the Square's second indoor production. During our time outdoors, we saw it all: blizzards (during a production of Macbeth, no less), dachshund parades, flash floods, errant children, etc. We're bringing some of that insane energy into The Gym at Judson. Our actors are accustomed to performing on a bare stage, interacting directly with the audience, and playing multiple parts - Romeo and Juliet will be a continuation of that tradition.

SITS is attacking the play head-on, without the crutch of 'concept' or cutting. We're performing the uncut Folio text at a speed that guarantees the "two hours' traffic of our stage" and not a minute longer. Romeo and Juliet promises to be the show that launches Shakespeare in the Square into the next stage of its career as well as an unforgettable night of theatre."
