Romeo and Juliet, Wheelhouse
/“Wheelhouse set out to break with cliché in tackling Shakespeare’s most iconic love story, mining the polarities of comedy and tragedy, love and hate, through playful ensemble-driven work which lies at the heart of the Wheelhouse approach to theater. Recognizing that the latter half of the play mirrors the first, we set up a great height of comedic joy from which to fall into the depths of tragedy. A tragedy which proves to be the only possible antidote to breaking the cycle of conflict embedded in a divided status quo that feels eerily familiar to our current cultural climate.” –blurb from the Wheelhouse website.
Read MoreRomeo e Giulietta, Teatrino del Giullare
/The playtext used for the show is based on the 1597 First Quarto (Q1) of Romeo and Juliet, translated and staged integrally for the first time in Italy. Teatrino del Giullare stages Romeo and Juliet as a comic tragedy made of contrasts and illusions, a tale built on reflections, anxieties and desires created with the help of masks which the the two performers characteristically employ in every creation they stage.

/
"Hamlet's got the hump, Uncle Claudius is conniving, mother Gertrude's hit the bottle, and girlfriend Ophelia's away with the fairies. No wonder Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are confused. Mysteries, murders and magical music; Bathasar's bemused, Romeo's a wuss and the Friar's on the fiddle, but Juliet Capulet calls the shots in an ice cream war with the Montagues. Rip-roaring romance with a twist.” --description from Fringe Festival programme.

Read MoreGoodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
/“Ann-Marie MacDonald`s witty play is a sparkling comedic tale of self-discovery. Graduate Assistant Constance Leadbelly, who is obsessed with decoding Shakespearian manuscripts, is suddenly propelled into the world of Othello and Romeo and Juliet. She unintentionally alters them into comedies by saving the lives of the two leading ladies. Seductions, sword fights, and disguises ensue in this award winning Canadian play.”
Read MoreThe Complete Deaths, Spymonkey
/All 74 on-stage deaths from Shakespeare's oeuvre realized in physical comedy by four actors. With a LED-display counter monitoring the 75 deaths (they include the fly in Titus Andronicus) and propelling the action to the zero, The Complete Deaths is a fast-paced and entertaining tribute to the tragic ends of so many of Shakespeare's characters.
Read MoreRomeu e Julieta, Companhia Nacional de Bailado
/
Romeo and Juliet. Names that seal the most timeless of love stories and that will bring together the D. Maria II and the Companhia Nacional de Bailado. At the helm, Rui Horta promises a modern-day take on this classic. This Romeo and Juliet is a sensual journey based loosely on Shakespeare, but faithful to the great questions that the Bard tackles: the irrationality of the human being in the face of love and death.
Quem pode caminhar para a frente quando o coração não o acompanha?
Romeu e Julieta, nomes intemporais. Nomes que marcaram tanto o teatro como a dança. Nomes que selam a mais intemporal das histórias de amor e que vão agora unir o D. Maria II à Companhia Nacional de Bailado. Ao leme, está Rui Horta que promete um olhar do nosso tempo sobre o clássico. Este Romeu e Julieta é uma viagem sensorial livremente inspirada em Shakespeare, mas fiel às grandes questões que esta aborda: a irracionalidade do ser humano perante o amor e a morte. Um exercício multidisciplinar entre a dança, o teatro, a música ao vivo, a arquitetura de cena e um tema, esse sim, imortal.

/
“Best intentions… are what Angelica and Emilia, two modern adaptations of the often overlooked women from Shakespeare's Othello and Romeo and Juliet, definitely had before they ended up trapped in a room with a kitten puzzle. They must now take this opportunity to look more closely at their lives, the choices they made and how they came to be in this place. Through reasoning, deduction and slowly revealing their dark secrets, they discover that escape will warrant some honesty, as their 'best intentions' are not an excuse in the eyes of the law.” --description from Fringe programme.
