This spring Seattle Shakespeare offers a new bilingual presentation of Romeo y Julieta. Blending Shakespeare’s text with Spanish and Spanglish, this adaptation celebrates Latinidad and queer culture through this cherished classic love story. Romeo y Julieta is a free, 2-hour, view-on-demand video that will be available May 21-June 6, 2021.
It’s the greatest love story ever told…but in a whole new way. Rehearsed and filmed entirely over Zoom, a creative team from all over North America came together to create a bilingual Romeo y Julieta that reflects a contemporary world. The vision for the project incorporates club kid styles, Covid masks, a non-binary Romeo, an all-seeing Bruja, and other unique aspects to open a new look at this 400-year-old classic play.
