Romeo and Juliet: Aquila Theatre Company

You've never seen Romeo and Juliet like this! Each actor in the company has learned all the lines of every character in the play, and no two performances are ever the same as each audience helps decide which actor will perform each role! The young Juliet may be played by an older actor (or even a man), and the same is true for every other character in the play. It's not a gimmick — our preconceptions of what each character should look and sound like disappear, and we hear the play anew as Shakespeare's original language takes front and center stage.

"...beautifully spoken, dramatically revealing and crystalline in effect."
— The New Yorker

Aquila Theatre Company's new production of Romeo and Juliet uses their highly talented British and American ensemble to create a stylistic adaptation that will focus on the major themes of the story and bring the text to vivid life. Aquila has won international acclaim for its bold, intelligent and stylish productions of Shakespeare, including a special performance at the White House, acclaimed runs in New York City, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. and invitations to Shakespeare festivals around the world.

Combining a taut narrative with a timeless love story, Aquila creates an evening of sparkling drama.
