A troupe of eight skilled street performers tells this timeless tale of adolescent love through the prism of 21st Century attitudes and prejudices in a trim 90-minute version: when a Hindu and a Muslim fall in love at first sight, sparks fly, igniting centuries-old tribal passions. Love and laughter are followed by death and despair: why must it take tragedy to bury ancient animosities?

Seeking exceptional actors adept at Shakespeare, who perform well in both an indoor setting and also out-of-doors in a large venue with no amplification. Multicultural, multi-ethnic production. Some actors may be cast against gender type. A sense of humor is mandatory.

Romeo, Tybalt and Mercutio:

Must be excellent stage-fight combatants.

Lady Capulet, Mercutio and Pandit Laurence:

Must have basic hand-puppetry skills, or be able to learn.
