William Shakespeare's classic tragedy comes to Pinkney Park in Rowayton from July 18-July 29. Shakespeare on the Sound's annual series, this time focusing on star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, will tell the tale in what they claim is a "fresh take" on the famous play.
Their interpretation will focus on eight friends and their tradition of reading the play on a summer night. The reading of the play amongst this group of friends will wash over them as they will recite poetry, act out scenes, and much more.
All performances are free and open to the public. A suggested donation of $20 for adults and $10 for children is appreciated. Feel free to bring a blanket or chair for comfort and even though spots are first come, first serve, you can reserve an area for $50 by calling (203) 299-1300. You can also bring food but refreshments are available for purchase at Brendan's 101 (www.brendans101.com). Showtimes begin each night at 7:30 p.m. every day of the week EXCEPT MONDAYS.
