After an initial 2019 run in New York City's Central Park, LADY CAPULET performances move to a virtual tour, stopping at Goddard Riverside's 6th Annual WHAM! Festival beginning MARCH 25 at 7pm, followed by a live talkback with cast and creatives, and streaming through MARCH 31 on the Goddard YouTube channel and on CreateTheater MARCH 29-30 for Women's Voices Month.

Nominated for "Most Memorable Modern Updates & Adaptations of 2020" by New York Shakespeare, LADY CAPULET follows the journey of Rose from country girl to matriarch, navigating her repression and power in 16th century Verona when family, social status, and gender determine everything.

Original music composed by Graham Russell of AIR SUPPLY, who sees LADY CAPULET as "a great bridge to bringing people into Shakespeare." Of the virtual performance, the award-winning hitmaking songwriter of All Out of Love and Lost in Love said, "I loved it, fantastic; I was glued to the screen."

The LADY CAPULET virtual tour began JANUARY 28 at the Norwalk Library: "Bravo! Barefoot Shakespeare Company & CreateTheater! Norwalk residents were thrilled to have the theater in their own homes in Connecticut via Zoom! Thank you!"
