Romeo & Juliet
by William Shakespeare
Lakeside Shakespeare Theatre
July, 2013
Bringing Shakespeare’s timeless tale to early 1980’s exurban America, this gut-wrenching production explored the benefits and costs of passion as we followed our pair of star-crossed lovers to the grave. Featuring a haunting punk score played live by a band fronted by Matt Kahler, emotions ran high on stage and in the audience in one of the company’s best-attended tragedies of all time.
