ABOUT THE SHOW
Verona’s Montague and Capulet families have been feuding for ages and whenever they meet, violence breaks out. But when Romeo glimpses Juliet across a crowded dance floor, something different happens. Can star-crossed love survive in a world of rivalry and rage?
With a plot featuring a masqued ball, sleeping potions and all-out brawling in the street, wrapped in a text full of soaring poetry, it’s no wonder Romeo & Juliet has inspired countless adaptations, from ballets to movies to musicals, such as West Side Story.
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Joshua Baig
Assistant Directed by William Marlowe

ABOUT THE SHOW
In a small house on a big hill in County Galway, Ireland, the Folan women live out an uneasy truce. Maureen and her elderly but iron-willed mother Mag spend their days in endless rounds of petty insults and physical threats as each maneuvers for control of their isolated existence. But when an old family friend reappears and offers Maureen a chance at love and a new life, this once-benign terrain grows treacherous and the two women, bound by blood but driven by desperation, will do anything to survive.
Written by Martin McDonagh
