Romeo and Juliet 

By William Shakespeare
Accidental Shakespeare Co.

​The world's greatest love story, for the world's longest year. 
Set in Chicago during the COVID-19 pandemic, my fresh, queer, Chicago-based staging of the play explores what it's like to find love and be separated from it amidst a pandemic. My staging intentionally uses Zoom recordings, video art, self-tapes, and socially-distant filming to intentionally tell this iconic story like it's never been seen before. 
Video available upon request.
