Lady Capulet in Romeo and Juliet
Theatreworks
Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy of young love and old grudges is reimagined with bold theatricality and raw emotional power.
Written by William Shakespeare and Directed by Max Shulman
These violent delights have violent ends. In his first production as Theatreworks’ Artistic Director, Max Shulman (An Iliad, Free-for-All: Pericles, Henry IV & V) returns to the Bard with a bold new vision of Romeo & Juliet. This fresh take on Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy marks a full-circle moment—honoring Theatreworks’ very first Shakespeare production in 1976. Passion, violence, and poetry collide in this electric staging, proving that the tale of star-crossed lovers is as urgent, dangerous, and heartbreaking as ever.
