The School of Theatre and Dance Presents "Romeo and Juliet"

Saturday, April 24, 2027 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Kent Center for the Performing Arts
E. Turner Stump Theatre

Adapted from Shakespeare by Doug McClure 
Directed by Paul Hurley 
April 15 -25 | Wright-Curtis Theatre 

Here is love's greatest story and history's greatest play made accessible for modern performers. This is not a cutting or reworking, but a version for those interested in producing a full Shakespearean work without losing their audience in archaic phrases and obscure references. The famous speeches all retain their original language, but difficult or confusing passages have been translated to formal, modern, English, while maintaining the original rhyme schemes and meters. This is a version that leaves both audience and actors satisfied while immersing them in a great work of art. 

ROMEO AND JULIET is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
