Minneapolis’ Guthrie Theater and The Acting Company have chosen Romeo and Juliet for their second national tour and co-production. Shakespeare’s iconic romantic tragedy of innocent young lovers falling victim to family hatred and cruel destiny... swords clash, everlasting love is promised and a treacherous sleeping potion is swallowed in the greatest love story of all time. Young love has never been so delightful or as dangerous as in this stirring new production. Evoking the lyricism of Shakespeare’s sonnets, Romeo and Juliet exquisitely embodies the brief joy of youthful passion and ecstasy. Timeless and deeply moving, they love each other passionately as only teenagers can while their families’ mutual disdain and prejudice lead to revenge and an irreversible fate. Chance and accident are center stage. Order is restored but at what price... A Resource Guide will provide classroom teachers with lessons and reproducibles to enhance the theatre-going experience. Pre- and Post-performance activities will help the students focus on both the literary and emotional impact of the piece. Role-playing, text analysis, writing-in-role and other drama-based techniques found in the guide will enhance the teachers' repertoire of exercises and will give students new approaches to literature.
