Shakespeare & Company presents These Violent Delights: A Spring Young Company Performance, on Friday, May 13 and Saturday, May 14, at 6 p.m., outdoors at The New Spruce Theatre.
Featuring area high school students engaged in actor training, this adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet” is directed by David Bertoldi and Caitlin Kraft. The 2022 Spring Young Company ensemble will present two free performances that are open to the public.
In this adaption, following the street brawl that ends the lives of Tybalt and Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet grapple with the consequences of their forbidden love. Faced with flashbacks, they must piece together their memories to answer the question: how did we get here? These performances are the culmination of a nine-week program through which high-school-aged actors explore voice, movement, clown, and more.
