Romeo and Juliet

Hansol Jung’s Romeo and Juliet

By Shakespeare, adapted by Hansol Jung as part of the Play On Shakespeare initiative. @ Two River Theatre and Classic Stage Company for NAATCO (National Asian American Theatre Company). Photos by Julieta Cervantes. Directed by Dustin Wills.

“A tonal shift seems to be in the works with the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt, which are initially treated with the same glibness until the creeping tide of seriousness overwhelms the scene.”

— Zachary Stewart, Theatermania.com

“The acting… is uniformly strong… There are Brechtian gestures and live looping and Groucho Marx glasses and plastic fish littering the stage… Tybalt (Rob Kellogg), at one point, does the worm.”

— Alexis Soloski, New York Times
