A New Romeo and Juliet!
-
Romeo and Juliet, how in the world can you re-tell that story? Throw in some sword fights, militia, 1840’s California and Spanish and you’ve got a brand new twist on an old story!
Romeo is in love, out of love, he’s your typical broken hearted teenager. Juliet is a Juliet like you’ve never heard before. With spark, fire, passion and fantastic performances this is by far the best Romeo and Juliet duo I have ever heard perform this masterpiece. The nurse will take your breath away and you’ll hit the floor laughing at her antics. Mercutio is too much! Wonderfully played and adapted for the Spanish role. The quick witted friar and all his scheming, a new spin on the apothecary (I won’t ruin the surprise) and music that will have you dancing.
Fully dramatized by the Oregon Shakespeare Festivals 2012 cast this is as close to the live performance as you can get. Better, because in this year’s Romeo and Juliet you’ll be transported to 1840’s Alta California.
I’ve had the pleasure of working on this unique production! This isn’t like any other multicast you’ve ever heard. Complete sound effects, dramatic music, comedy and passionate performances all blend together for a one of a kind audio experience.

Author
Author Bio: William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time, and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
