When Shakespeare becomes forbidden…

Four Catholic school boys sneak out in the middle of the night to act out a forbidden play: Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In this Orange County premiere, Joe Calarco does an amazing job of using only Shakespeare’s words to tell the story of these four repressed teenagers.
