The Vortex Theatre Presents
William Shakespeare’s
Romeo and Juliet
June 3 through August 7, 2011
“Nothing says summer like the Bard!”
Aurelio Sanchez — ABQ Journal, May 29, 2011
Will Power 2, the Vortex Theatre’s 2011 Summer Shakespeare Festival, gets off to a sensational start Friday, June 3, with Romeo and Juliet, the world’s best-loved romantic tragedy. The star-crossed lovers are played by Stafford Douglas and Willow Hanson (center, photo above) with Hakim Bellamy as Friar and Laira Morgan as Nurse.
Under the direction of Ryan Jason Cook, the play is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the troubles of the heart are echoed by a civilization in violent collapse. Think Terminator Salvation and The Book of Eli, but with Shakespeare’s gorgeous verse and the passions of young love. The production is enhanced by images of this embattled world projected onto screens around the theatre.
Over the 10-week run of the festival, Romeo and Juliet will appear in revolving repertory with The Comedy of Errors and The Merchant of Venice, with four shows most weekends. Please click here for a complete schedule of Will Power 2 performances through August 7th.
