Romeo and Juliet : A CSI
Start: 6:30 pm
Start: 07/06/2007 - 18:30
End: 07/08/2007 - 13:00

Romeo & Juliet: A Crime Scene Investigation,
A Deconstruction/Exploration of the Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of William Shakespeare, an original work conceived & directed by THEATREWORKS Artistic Director, Patricia Finn Rapiejko.

THEATREWORKS Repertory Company presents a new play based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Although Romeo & Juliet : A CSI is based on William Shakespeare's beloved text of passionate discovery and young love, romance is not the primary focus. This reorientation of the text follows the format of a crime scene investigation, beginning at the tomb at the end of Act V. Here, the Royal collects testimony from the survivors to illuminate the details of the final days and to explore the question, "What led these young people to choose suicide?" The audience is also questioned, "Would you recognize the signs of depression and suicide ideation (thinking about it) in a son, a daughter, or a friend?" The concept of this original play is not to rewrite or abandon Shakespeare, but to find in his words a microcosm of modern life.
