Shakespeare on the Sound's Romeo and Juliet

About the Event

Please join us for a special program just in time for Shakespeare on the Sound's annual summer production of Romeo and Juliet in Rowayton's Pinkney Park (June 12 –June 30). It’s their 28th year presenting Shakespeare's plays outdoors. Fun Facts About Romeo And Juliet:

• Romeo and Juliet first meet on a Sunday evening. Four days later—on Wednesday evening—Romeo drinks poison and Juliet stabs herself. “Worst week ever,” as one Shakespearean scholar has put it.
• Juliet is 13 years old. We don't know Romeo's age.
• Dante first mentions the feud between the families in the early 1300's.
• In 1662 Mary Saunderson made stage history as the first woman to play Juliet, 150 years after London audiences first saw Shakespeare's play with a boy playing Juliet.
