This particular version will be particularly prolific considering the interracial element being introduced, and it will be staged at the Rodgers Theatre on August 24 with debut date of September 19.<\/p>\n<p>Director <strong>David Leveaux<\/strong> is well aware of the implications that come with the somewhat controversial casting but refuses to allow the racial undertones to take away from the overpowering themes that dominate the woeful tale. \u201cThere was nothing simple about the choice but I\u2019m not about to turn a contemporary version of Shakespeare into a sociological or political point. We know there are families from one background or another who would reject their children getting together with someone from another group. Romeo and Juliet reject that notion. It is still the case that children try to oppose the cultural expectations thrust upon them, the rigidity of tribes, the rigidity of fundamentalism\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Well said! We can\u2019t wait to see both these actors lead the charge and gracefully illustrate the true meaning of Till Death Do Us Part.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Our fantasy is finally coming true!
