Romeo and Juliet (Drilling Company)
About the show
As part of their free Shakespeare in Bryant Park program, The Drilling Company presents The Bard's 'Romeo and Juliet' set in a modern city that is divided by wealth and class. More…
In director David Marantz's contemporary version of Verona, the city is dominated by religion and divided between rich and poor. Everybody carries weapons openly, which leads to fighting on the streets. Capulet Industries, owned by Juliet's wealthy, conservative family, is running the town. Romeo hails from a family that runs the Montague Center for Social Justice. Class conflict has created a modern dystopia from which the two lovers want to flee.
