R&J

Our first production was Romeo & Juliet, a political drama told alongside contemporary pop music. This 90-minute version cut the script down while leaving the remaining words unaltered, and set the show to pop music. BTC’s production showcased the versatility of the timeless verse, which Shakespeare wrote at the age of 25, and brought it to today’s audiences in a way that was fresh and fun, while still true to the message of the story. It ran to sold-out houses October 24th through November 2nd, 2013 at Club Cafe.
