The Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts' season of Shakespeare concludes with two of America's most renowned touring/regional theater companies - The Acting Company and The Guthrie Theater - in six performances of Romeo and Juliet, April 20 - 24, 2010

Romeo and Juliet is a classic that still rings true due to its commentaries on passion, violence, true love, regret, revenge, hatred, societal expectations, and fate. These themes brought to life by Shakespeare's beautiful language continue to ring true for theatergoers today. While all enter the theatre knowing the outcome, there's something for everyone to relate to here from crazy friends, overprotective/concerned parents, to first loves and everything in between. The greatest tragedy is found in the older generation's inability to put aside their feud, which is the cause of their children's untimely ends. The Acting Company/Guthrie Theatre Production of Romeo and Juliet features wonderful performances and interesting direction which together perfectly compliment the truth of Romeo's words, 'Here's much to do with hate, but more with love.'

Building on the success of their critically acclaimed 2009 production of Henry V, The Acting Company and Guthrie Theater will again showcase the talents of young performers from their ranks in a co-production and national tour of Romeo and Juliet, directed by Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Penny Metropulos.

Director Penny Metropulos transports the play to turn-of-the-century Verona, where the warring houses of Capulet and Montague first attack each other with their canes - before they unleash the blades underneath. But amidst all this strife Romeo and Juliet still find each other - in a night illuminated by fireworks. But fate doesn't let their bliss last long, as increasing violence and opposition lead the two lovers to their ultimate fate.
