From historic feud to ill-fated union, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet finds new significance in Winthrop’ s intimate Studio Theatre. Verona is sick. Its structures broken and its citizens in a state of desperation. When a system favors the few, the many are left with nothing but unhealthy choices. Amidst the violence, bloodshed, fear and unrest, two teenagers find unexpected relief in each other. But will love be enough to save them from society’s sickness? Details
