Free ‘Romeo and Juliet’ performances set Oct. 25, Nov. 1, 7

September 17, 2019

Delaware Shakespeare’s fourth annual fall community tour featuring statewide performances of “Romeo and Juliet” will run Wednesday, Oct. 23, through Sunday, Nov. 17.

In the play, two dreamers awaken to love – and a world trying to tear them apart – as they fight to hold onto their vision of wonder and a new life.

Producing Artistic Director David Stradley said, “You’ll never feel the power of Shakespeare’s vital romantic tragedy more immediately than in our community tour production, where every audience member is within 10 feet of the performers.”

Del Shakes has scheduled free full-length performances at local venues. Reserved tickets are required.

The free shows will be held at 12:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 25, at Milton CHEER Activity Center, Milton; 2 p.m., Friday, Nov. 1, at  Milford Public Library, Milford; and 5 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 7,  at First State Community Action Agency, Georgetown.

“Romeo and Juliet” is directed by Philadelphia’s Lindsay Smiling, and stars Freddy Amill as Romeo and newcomer Sol Madariaga as Juliet. They are joined by Cassandra Alexander, Newton Buchanan, Cameron DelGrosso, Maria Konstantinidis, J Hernandez, and Tai Verley.

The production will feature live, original music, with Emily Schuman returning as both composer and musician.

Limited tickets are available for each of the free public “Romeo and Juliet” performances, and must be requested in advance by email to info@delshakes.org.
