	_SHAKESPEARE’S R&J_

	A WILD AND UNRESTRAINED ADAPTATION BY JOE CALARCO

	OPENS NEXT FRIDAY, AUG 30 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

	 

	Convergence-continuum continues its 2019 Season, “Star-Crossed,”
with _SHAKESPEARE’S R&J._  In a repressive Catholic boys' boarding
school, four students discover the forbidden text of Shakespeare’s
play _Romeo and Juliet _and secretly enact the play, taking turns
reading the play aloud. The words and story are thrilling to the boys,
and they become swept away in an athletic deluge of adolescent
agitation, anxiety, and fierce desires that parallel their own lives.
Although they had been taking turns playing all the parts, two of the
boys eventually emerge playing Romeo and Juliet exclusively, bringing
a whole new dimension to the proceedings. 

	 

	            “Hot-blooded ... Wrenching ... pulsates with
an adolescent abandon and electricity of which Romeo himself might
approve”   -The New York Times

	 

	“A superb adaptation that will open your eyes and ears to the piece
as if you were experiencing it with unjaded wonder for the first
time.”      -The Independent (London)

	 

	_Shakespeare’s R&J 
_is directed by convergence-continuum’s Executive Director Cory
Molner. Members of the cast are Zach Palumbo, Michael Emery Fox, Joe
Soriano and John P. Cox.

	 

	_Shakespeare’s R&J
