Romeo y Juliet
Adapted by Karen Zacarías and directed by KJ Sanchez
Romeo y Juliet, Shakespeare's most iconic tale of young love presented in a bilingual adaptation by Karen Zacarías. Director KJ Sanchez returns to the Bruns after a national tour of Cal Shakes' 2018 hit Quixote Nuevo to imagine these star-crossed lovers as two daughters before the backdrop of Alta California, as California was known during Spanish Colonial and Mexican rule. Originally scheduled for Cal Shakes' 2020 Season but canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the production returns with many of the original cast members.
"I have been longing to work with Cal Shakes again, longing to make art again, longing to be back on that beautiful stage," says director KJ Sanchez, who has loved the play since she played Juliet in the early nineties. "I've been a huge fan of Karen Zacarías for years and years. The fact that we get to play with a bilingual R Y J makes this production even more dear to my heart. For me, this is the play. This production, this collaborator and this theater is a dream come true. And it keeps me hanging on each and every day, knowing what we will bring to Bay Area audiences in the spring."
