2 Romeo and Juliet: Making Art and Memories A Note from the Founding Artistic Director

This is Chesapeake Shakespeare Company’s 50th production. That’s a lot of plays. Most of the plays we’ve produced have been written by Shakespeare (35), and we have performed some of these Shakespeare plays more than once.

These productions have run the gamut of style and intent. From the medieval palette of our and Henry V to the modern-dress of our and The Merry Wives of Windsor, our Shakespeare productions have tried to capture what is universal about these works.

We’ve visited the 19th and 20th centuries most frequently, and set some productions in fan- tastic worlds that don’t relate to specific times in history. We’ve also produced works by other great playwrights, including Moliere, Lope de Vega, Thornton Wilder, Anton Chekhov and Oscar Wilde, and adapted works by Aristophanes, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.

Our plays have wrestled with our shared agonies and highlighted life’s absurdities. The productions have been about war, love, ambition, deception, sex and politics. They’ve been side-splittingly funny and devastatingly heartbreaking. They’ve been grand and in- timate, light and dense. Imperfect? You bet. We’ve always firmly believed in taking artistic risks. We are always asking “what makes Shakespeare and other classic theater great?”

I’ve been proud of all of our work, but I must say I’ve been especially proud of our work that tries new things -- that succeeds and fails with brave attempts to connect audiences to these great plays. Why do we take these risks? It’s because we’re in the business of welcoming nontraditional audiences to the theater. At this, we’ve succeeded in wonder- ful ways. Our audiences do not fit the standard theater-going demographic. That’s thrill- ing to me. We work hard to attract those people who feel that theater or Shakespeare has failed them in some ways. I’m delighted to see so many of you in our audiences.

Romeo and Juliet was our second show and our 40th show. It seems quite fitting for it to be our 50th. It is perhaps the most famous play ever written. Arguably, it is the dramatic work that has permeated, more than any other, all aspects of society. It is the perfect ex- ample of Shakespeare’s work, and the work that we attempt to do. We love telling stories that are core to the human experience and we love to people these productions with recognizable characters that have qualities that we all share.

Of course, we look forward to the next 50 productions. We’ve got a lot to say and we’re thrilled that we have so many great plays to express ourselves with. I welcome you to this special anniversary production, and look forward to welcoming you to many more in the future.

Romeo and Juliet 5 A Dream Come True: CSC School Matinees

Since 2007, we have fulfilled an important part of our education mission by performing Shakespeare’s plays for students. Our traveling productions gave thousands of Maryland youth their first experience seeing Shakespeare’s plays on the stage, not just on the page.

To reach even more schools and students, we dreamed of building a permanent home for this program. That dream is now coming true in our Downtown Baltimore theater, four days a week from April 7-May 12. More than 5,500 schoolchildren from Baltimore City and Howard, Baltimore, Prince George’s, Top: David Mavricos as Romeo. Montgomery, Harford, and Cecil counties, will Photos by Teresa Castracane. join us here for Romeo and Juliet matinees. More than 2,000 students will also participate in CSC workshops.

Generous supporters have provided funds to cover the cost of tickets, transportation, and workshops for many Baltimore City public school students. We want to thank CSC’s trustees and donors, participating schools and teachers, our teaching artists and cast members, and the many supporters who helped us build this gorgeous theater. You’ve all made a dream come true for Maryland students. THANK YOU

6 Romeo and Juliet Synopsis: Love at First Sight

The play opens with a fight between the Capulets and the Montagues, two prestigious families in Verona, Italy. The Prince declares that their next public brawl will be punished by death.

Later, Romeo’s cousin Benvolio tries to cheer him of his melancholy. Romeo and Benvolio attend a party held by their enemy. At the party, Romeo falls instantly in love with a young woman named Juliet. When they realize each other’s identities, they are devastated, but follow their hearts and marry in secret.

Romeo visits his best friend Mercutio and his cousin Benvolio. Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, arrives and starts a quarrel with Romeo, which escalates into a duel with Mercutio. Romeo intervenes, but Tybalt kills Mercutio. Enraged, Romeo retaliates by killing Tybalt.

Romeo learns he is banished from Verona and will be killed if he stays. Friar Laurence suggests Romeo spend the night with Juliet, then depart in the morning for Mantua. He tells Romeo that he will attempt to settle the Capulet and Montague dispute.

Unaware of her daughter’s secret marriage, Lady Capulet informs Juliet that she will marry a man named Paris in a few days. Juliet asks Friar Lawrence for advice. He gives Juliet a potion which will make her appear dead when she takes it. He tells her to use it on the eve of the wedding. He promises to send word to Romeo, intending to reunite the two lovers in the Capulet vault.What follows is among the most tragic and moving conclusions among history’s great plays.

8 Romeo and Juliet When Romeo Met Juliet When did Shakespeare write Romeo and Juliet? Scholars believe Romeo and Juliet was written between 1591- 1595. The play was first performed in late fall/winter of 1594-1595, soon after London officials reopened the city’s playhouses. The theaters had been closed from 1593 until late 1594 to help combat the deadly spread of the plague. Shakespeare makes a brief reference to the epidemic in Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence’s message fails to reach Romeo in Mantua because the messenger, Friar Lauren M. Davis is Juliet in CSC’s Romeo and Juliet. John, was detained by a quarantine. Photos by Teresa Castracane.

Impulsive teens? Not originally Shakespeare’s play is based largely on a poem by Arthur Brooke first published in 1562,The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet. In Brooke’s poem, the teens’ love percolates over a couple weeks and the plot evolves over nine months. Shakespeare’s adaptation of the poem masterfully quickens the pace of hearts – and the urgency of the tale. “He has his impulsive lovers meet, woo, and resolve to marry all in the same night,” writes Ryan McKittrick of the American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) at Harvard University, in the A.R.T. newsletter. “Less than a day after they first lay eyes on each other, Romeo and Juliet rush to Friar Lawrence’s cell, where they are married in secret... Brooke gives Romeus and Juliet time to enjoy their marital bliss. In Shakespeare’s play, however, the lovers’ time together starts running out almost as David Mavricos as Romeo. soon as it begins.”

Honey, did you hear what I said? Shakespeare gave Romeo more lines than Juliet. Him – 617. Her – 542. Still, Juliet’s role is among the five largest for a woman in Shakespeare’s canon.

When Juliet was a man When the play was performed on Shakespeare’s stage, all of the actors were men or boys. Several sources credit Mary Saunderson as the first woman to be Juliet on the professional stage in 1662, after England changed laws barring women from performing.

Classic plays can be awfully good, but only if they speak to their audience and the community in a way that is dynamic, personal, and pleasurable. We do plays that people like and we perform them in innovative and intimate ways that intensify the connection between audiences and artists. We do this because we want to know what makes Shakespeare so great — and we ask our audience and our community to explore that question alongside us. Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
