A newly devised, modern adaptation based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.  This star-crossed couple  is entirely non-traditional from what we’re used to seeing.  Juliet – fat and queer.  Romeo is much a younger trans-man.  The rest of the characters are doubled and non-conventionally cast.  Script will be written by a diverse pairing of playwrights based on devising workshops starting in Winter 2023.
