Shakespeare's greatest love story by DC's biggest fools!

"Cheerfully rough-hewn", says The Washington Post, with "capering, roughhousing physicality."

Romeo and Juliet, the classic story of two young lovers divided by a family feud, borrows heavily from the tradition of the Italian Comedy. This high-octane version, featuring five actors in a one-hour cutting, brings physical spectacularity to Shakespeare's poetry and highlights tragedy by juxtaposing it with humor.

A Commedia Romeo & Juliet is now on tour, after a sold-out, Helen Hayes Awards Recommended© run at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop. Bring this critically-acclaimed production to a theatre or school near you by emailing education@factionoffools.org.

Running time: approx. 60 minutes; Appropriate for ages 9 and up.
