Description: Romeo and Juliet, directed by Gary Armagnac, will be mounted on Pacific’s stage with an all female cast. “An all female Romeo and Juliet affords our women actors the opportunity to explore characters that would normally be denied them," Armagnac said. "An interesting facet of this casting is that we can suddenly see aspects of relationships that aren’t just about gender. It allows us to explore the relationships of power in question that are independent of gender within the play.”

University of the Pacific presents Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the classic tale of feuding families and star-crossed lovers which runs October 16th-18th and October 22nd-24th at the Long Theatre.
