Lovers

Closing: May 11, 1975

Lovers - 1975 Off-Broadway History , Info & More

Players Theatre
115 MacDougal St. New York, NY 10012

LOVERS is divided into two different stories. The first, "Winners", describes two seventeen year old students. The first, Joe, is an intelligent young man who is driven to succeed through his studies. Mag, Joe's girlfriend, is a young lady who lives in surrealism. Through the course of the show, will their love continue to grow, or tear itself apart from the inside out?

"Losers", quite the opposite, is the story of an adult couple, who after the years of being alone, have finally found one another. Yet, a mother who preaches the words of a non-existing saint could cause the end of the relationship. One wonders: "Can love really survive in the end?"

Review: ROMEO A JULIET, Shakespeare's Globe
by Clementine Scott - Nov 7, 2025


Romeo a Juliet does not make any of its political points overtly, and this is an occasion where some things are better left unsaid, without cheap gimmicks. With nothing made explicit, the audience comes away reflecting on their own use of language and dialect in their daily life, as well as on how over 500 years later, new eyes on Shakespeare can still make desperately overdone texts feel brand new.
