Review for Shakespeare’s R&J

Check out our first review of the season from April Forrer at MD Theatre Guide:

I went into this production knowing nothing about it. I knew it was based on William Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet” and that this classic story is reimagined by Joe Calarco and it is set a modern Catholic Boys School but in an unspecified time. Vagabond’s production, directed by Jennifer M. Spieler, contains a cast of only 4 exceptional young men that, to me, is one of the main reasons that live theatre can be so beautiful and exhilarating because young people are invested in producing great theatre.

It is true that these young men need words to achieve this goal, and Calarco’s words do intertwine with Shakespeare’s well, but these actors opened themselves to a level of vulnerability that transcended the words on the page.
