Opening Performance
Faction of Fools Theatre Company, DC’s Commedia dell’Arte theatre company, continues its 15th Anniversary Season with a remount of a foolish favorite: A COMMEDIA ROMEO AND JULIET. Shakespeare’s classic story of two young lovers divided by a family feud borrows heavily from the tradition of the Renaissance Italian Comedy. Last performed in 2012, Faction’s high-octane version of Romeo and Juliet, featuring five actors in a one-hour performance, brings physical spectacularity to Shakespeare’s poetry and highlights the tragedy by juxtaposing it with humor. This 2024 remount is performed by two rotating casts, both alike in dignity: the "Montague Cast" and the "Capulet Cast."
