A Commedia Romeo & Juliet at Capitol Hill Arts Workshop

Join the Fools for the return of a foolish favorite! Romeo and Juliet, the classic story of two young lovers divided by a family feud, borrows heavily from the tradition of the Italian Commedia dell’Arte. Last performed in 2012, this high-octane version, featuring five actors in a one-hour cutting, brings physical spectacularity to Shakespeare's poetry and highlights tragedy by juxtaposing it with humor. Our 2024 remount features an exciting rotating cast of 10 actors for a limited run at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop.
