[NEohioPAL] Final weekend! Shakespeare's R&J at convergence-continuum

[convergence-continuum]

	FINAL WEEKEND!

	_SHAKESPEARE’S R&J_

	A WILD AND UNRESTRAINED ADAPTATION BY JOE CALARCO

	NOW AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

	 

	“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)

	 

	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. 

	 

	_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 
_ has its final three performances this Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. at
