"For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."
The tale of star-crossed lovers never gets old. The tale is back to draw tears and gasps from the audience---right at the Circle in the Square Theater. And it is giving Modern + Classic. If you think you've seen all Romeo and Juliet has to offer, you are dead wrong. Go to Circle in the Square Theater on October 10th for Sam Gold's ruthlessly genius cut of the piece starring the extremely talented Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler as Romeo + Juliet.
The youth are f*cked. Their parents have their own world of violent ends, and the young are left to their own devices. Breathe in the intoxicating high of passion which quickly descends into a brutal chaos. Two impulsive young people in their inescapable role of star crossed lovers. The ending? There's only one way.
Shakespeare's treasured tragedy about love, fate, and family has seen numerous adaptations for decades. Tony Award winner Sam Gold (An Enemy of the People, Fun Home) has the trimmed the fat off, distilling the essence of the story----the deeply universal feeling of love, culture, and tragedy. Imagine young, gorgeous, queer people breaking into the Circle in the Square talking in antiquated words in modern intonation and mannerisms, wearing modern clothing. It's fresh, horny and it pulls so much humor from the original script. It's giving brat summer. It's giving Gen Z's Shakespeare. It's the kind of edgy that will leave you intoxicated.
Kit Connor (Heartstopper) and Golden Globe Award winner Rachel Zegler (Spielberg's West Side Story) will take the center stage with a stellar chemistry that will make your heart beat so fast that your ears start ringing.
