Romeo & Juliet

Romeo & Juliet
by William Shakespeare

Davis Arts Council Shakespeare in the Park | August 22 – 27, 2012

Romeo and Juliet, directed by Mark Fossen, is a gem that belies the belief that community theatre can’t handle Shakespeare. The show is beautiful to look at, easy to follow, and engaging in almost every way.

“O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?”

The Davis Arts Council proudly presents our second summer of Shakespeare in the Park. Romeo and Juliet is the story of young star-crossed lovers whose deaths unite their feuding families. First published in 1597, it is one of Shakespeare’s most enduring and famous stories.

Romeo and Juliet has inspired many adaptations, including a modern re-telling in Broadway’s West Side Story. Its tragic story of prejudice and hatred is a cautionary tale that remains timeless.

“For never was a story more of woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
