Romeo & Juliet 2006

SUMMER 2006: ROMEO AND JULIET

Directed by ALEXA KELLY

 

“Alexa Kelly’s boldly conceived adaptation of the famous tragedy puts the servants in basketball jerseys and substitutes dance-offs for duels. …With John G. Williams as a charmingly spacey Romeo and Li Jun Li as a curiously exotic Juliet”
Thu-Sun, 8pm (through Aug 27)

“From the on start, this production of the classic tragedy seeks to reflect an urban atmosphere. …The words, faithfully and meaningfully delivered by the entire ensemble, are Shakespeare’s; nevertheless, a good deal of the accompanying body language, choreography and fight sequences belongs to the 21st century inner-city….”Romeo and Juliet,” being presented just a short walk from the 137th Broadway train station, is an almost not-to-be-missed Big Apple experience that can be savored until August 27th.”
