Description:

Romeo and Juliete
"Expect to be in floods of teary laughter midway through."—New York Times
For Nature Theater of Oklahoma's version of Shakespeare's great romantic tragedy, directors Pavol Liska and Kelly Copper asked friends and colleagues "can you tell me the story of Romeo and Juliet?"
On stage you'll see nine divergent recollections staged in order, accruing layers of unexpected meaning from the stacked variances, flights of fantasy, and invented characters that play out in counterpoint through the sequence of the retellings. As you'll discover, whenever memories waver, the creative juices really kick in to construct new worlds of desire, royal intrigue, and doomed love.
Note: With the increasing local presence of the Royal Shakespeare Company in Columbus in the coming years, look to us for several examples, like Nature Theater of Oklahoma, of very contemporary troupes that are also seeing value in the Bard's timeless plays as a jumping off point for their own dramatic ventures.
