    Add Review/Comment

    As environmental theatre, audiences will tread the play’s action from Verona’s gardens, where two houses are both alike in dignity, into the water-flowing crypt of the star-cross’d lovers. Directed by Seattle Shakespeare Company Artistic Director Stephanie Shine, Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare’s exploration of daring young love as experienced through the eyes and hearts of its formidable children.



    Bring your basket and picnic on the lawn as early as two hours prior to show time!

          “Romeo is sweating like a dog, and you can see his spit!”



          My wife whisper-shouted these observations to me last Friday night during the Tennessee Shakespeare Company’s performance of Romeo and Juliet at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens. I smiled at the details that struck my own true love, but didn’t respond with the obvious. All actors sweat on stage, you see, and they all spray a little when they say the word “passion” with passion. But only when seen as intimately as we were able to witness this particular performance — and under the stars, mind you — do body fluids become part of the drama. Collapse
