The Story
In Verona, Italy, Romeo and Juliet fall in love at first sight - despite their families’ ancient grudge. In a world of “us” versus “them,” the lovers secretly marry and hope for a future where they can love freely.
The Tour
Produced by Apocalyptic Artists Ensemble in collaboration with The Classical Theatre of Harlem, Romeo and Juliet toured New York City Middle and High Schools, providing students with a live theatrical experience. Employing minimal design and vibrant music, and supported by in-school workshops, a company of actors transformed familiar school spaces – classrooms, cafeterias, auditoriums - into Verona.
