Shakespeare’s powerful story of two young lovers on opposite sides of a divided city is re-imagined in a modern, Latino community by director Henry Godinez. The tragic romance unfolds in a bilingual, Spanish and English-language world, with a cast including four-time American Latino Media Arts Award winner Elizabeth Peña. This staged reading production is accompanied by striking visuals and the live, original music of Chicago’s Luna Blues Machine.
