Romeo and Juliet
Two Households. Star-Crossed Lovers. Violent Delights.
All Done ASP-Style.
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Marianna Bassham
The Roberts Studio Theatre at the Calderwood Pavilion
May 10 – June 2, 2024
Actors’ Shakespeare Project finishes off our 2023-24 Season with a classic that hasn’t graced our mainstage in over a decade: Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare’s most famous duo return in a flurry of forbidden love, exhilarating fight scenes, and (spoiler alert) tragic fate. Brought to life by Resident Artist Company Member Marianna Bassham’s expert direction, this dynamic and vivid take on Romeo and Juliet will thrill even those who fell asleep reading it in Sophomore English class.
ASP will be working with Boston-area youth and teachers during this production to explore the themes of youth violence and alienation in the play, and how they still ring true in 2024.
