This Week At Cornelia Street Cafe.

Two Pence Shakespeare presents their inaugural production, William Shakespeare's 'The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,' set between the two world wars in Italy, exploring the realities of life after combat. Civil unrest is only the symptom of a society dealing with the effects of war, and Verona is populated by young men recently returned home, experiencing fear, loss, grief ... and the unexpected deliverance of love. As modern day America continues to welcome home returning veterans, this production follows me, trained in the art of war, settling into an uneasy peace with their friends and family already suffering from the post-war economy. How can two young people hope to find peace with each other amidst so much chaos and pain? 'The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet' runs about two hours with one intermission.

Siblings Robert and Charlene have to delay the termination of their trust while they put a plan together to take over their deceased uncle's company. Their plan to confuse the trust lawyer by switching roles is complicated by the early arrival of the backer for their takeover plan. When the trust lawyer arrives they have to create another set of 'cousins' to explain which sibling is which. Complicating the situation, Robert and Charlene find they are attracted to the guests. Then there is the housekeeper who is trying to remember which sibling is which while sneaking a few sips of very old sherry and developing a passion for dancing. And, of course, the lemonade laced with pain killer...and it all gets very wild and confusing.
