\"ROMEO<\/h3>\n

Quite possibly the silliest<\/em> staging of ROMEO & JULIET<\/strong> ever!<\/h3>\n

There are Clowns<\/strong> in nearly all of Shakespeare\u2019s works and they are responsible for a touch <\/em>of levity in even the most tragic of his plays. What if the entire cast<\/em> consisted of Clowns<\/strong>!?<\/p>\n

What happens when an international troupe of direly unemployed Clowns<\/strong>, attempt to raise money to survive, by staging the most well known and beloved romantic tragedy of all time; ROMEO & JULIET<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In their somewhat <\/em>abbreviated adaptation, the Clowns<\/strong> do utilize Shakespeare\u2019s original text but don\u2019t hesitate to add some words of their own (mostly Hindi and Chinese<\/em>), while keeping the gist of the bard’s story intact about the two young, ill-fated, star crossed lovers.<\/p>\n

Nothing is sacred in the Clown<\/strong>\u2019s version of \u201cthe greatest romantic tragedy the world has ever known<\/em>\u201d as they explore the perplexities, plights, and predicaments of Love<\/em>, Lust<\/em>, and Vengeance<\/em> in the pursuit of Laughter<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The bard\u2019s plays, particularly the tragedies, are serious affairs that require great acting, elaborate period costumes, a proper theatre<\/em> and traditionally all roles played by men<\/em>. The Clowns <\/strong>throw all expectations overboard and wreak havoc while mischievously creating chaos as they joyfully rough up Shakespeare.<\/p>\n
