Letter from the Executive Director

Reflections on Twenty Years

This past January, I reached my 20th year at Seattle Shakespeare Company. As with so many things of adult memory, my start here feels like such a short time ago. I remember meeting with Stephanie Shine and talking about becoming managing director over dinner on an autumn evening; seeing John Langs’ remarkable King Lear with Kurt Beattie in the lead as my first show on staff; sharing a 10’ by 10’ office with three kind, wonderful people. 

So many memories. Of brilliant performances by great theatre veterans and by young actors just coming into Shakespeare. Of beautiful summer performances in the parks with Wooden O after our merger (thank you, George Mount!). Of watching students experiencing Shakespeare for the first time either on tour, at a student matinee, or at a school residency (my favorite, of nearly 100 elementary students at Montlake bringing this same play, Romeo and Juliet, to life). Of a variety of leaks into our offices, the theatre, the costume shop – we ARE under a number of restaurants!

Most of all, memories of a host of individuals - staff, board, artists, crew, audiences, students, teachers - who have made Seattle Shakespeare what it is. Many of whom, many of you, have become dear, valued friends. I look back at where we’ve come from, but even more, forward to who we will be. How we will weather the current storm affecting all performing arts groups. And what will see us through - a combination of dynamic vision and fiscal responsibility, as well as the generosity of individuals and institutions, but, most of all, people. You. Me. All of us who love these works, these stories, these words, these themes, these experiences, this community. Together, we will create new memories. For the next 20 years.

Thank you for being part of Seattle Shakespeare!

John Bradshaw
Executive Director

Director's Note from Sheila Daniels

When Makaela first asked me to consider this beautiful play, I read it for the first time since being a teenager. I was struck that at its heart, it is a story of two lovers who are trying to find light and hope in a world that offers them little. It was not a big leap then to choose to set it in our current time and in a small-city in America. Our young people are faced with potential gun violence in any public location, with a disintegrating planet, and with a political system that seems bent on limiting their bodily autonomy and who they choose to love, if not outright killing and demeaning them with systemic injustices. 

Then, as I started to think about setting, I wanted a place where teens could hang out, away from their homes and away from a computer - this led our design team to start talking about old wooden playgrounds. Not only did I hang out at these in my own adolescence, I see teens at playgrounds in my neighborhood all the time. There’s also something beautiful about them as a place between childhood and adulthood. This became the jumping off point for our scenic world, which then led to more choices reflective of young people today in music and clothing. We have eliminated cell phones and technology from this world—our own suspension of disbelief in order to bridge back into the poetic world of Shakespeare.

As reckless behavior and self-harm continue to rise in teens and children, it is a miracle that we encounter those who strive for justice, hope and love. Yet sometimes the world becomes too much for even those youth and they lose their battle and their hope. 

While young Juliet and Romeo were, of course, not in those exact circumstances when the play was written, their urge to love and to move towards the light are timeless and reverberate even in the echo-chamber of our world today.

Romeo & Juliet Synopsis

The play opens with a brawl between the two feuding families of Verona, the Capulets and the Montagues. The Prince breaks up the fight and threatens death for anyone “who disturbs our streets”.

A great celebration is being planned by the Capulets to which everyone in the town is invited, except the Montagues.  The primary reason for the party is to introduce their young daughter, Juliet, to an influential young lord in the town, Paris, in the hopes that they will marry. Romeo, Benvolio, and Mercutio, three Montagues, decide to attend the party in disguise so that Romeo will get his mind off of Rosaline, an unattainable girl who he is in love with.

From the moment Romeo sees Juliet from across the room, he is enchanted by her and forgets all about Rosaline. He talks with her and she becomes as entranced by him as he is by her, and Juliet forgets all about Paris. Juliet’s cousin Tybalt notices that Romeo and his friends are trespassing at the party, but Lord Capulet forbids him from starting a fight. Romeo sneaks back into the garden, where he hears Juliet talking to herself about the danger of loving an enemy. He appears and speaks to Juliet. They exchange vows of love and plan to marry in secret the next day.

Romeo begs Friar Lawrence to marry him and Juliet. Friar Lawrence agrees, hoping that the marriage might end the feud between the families and bring peace to the town. The two lovers are married and go their separate ways, planning to meet again in the secret of the night. That afternoon Tybalt attempts to pick a fight with Romeo. Romeo refuses, knowing that he has married Tybalt’s cousin Juliet. Mercutio takes up his sword to return Tybalt’s insult. As Romeo tries to break up the fight, he restrains Mercutio. Tybalt takes advantage of this and stabs Mercutio, who is killed. Romeo, enraged at the death of his friend, kills Tybalt and is banished by the Prince.

The Nurse tells Juliet that Romeo has been sentenced to banishment for killing Tybalt. Juliet is sad that her kinsman has been slain, but even more sad that Romeo is banished. Romeo and Juliet have only one night together after they are married before Romeo must leave the city. Their parting causes both of them much grief, and they both would rather kill themselves than be apart.

Unaware that Juliet has already married Romeo, the Capulets plan for her to marry Paris. Juliet goes to Friar Lawrence for help. He gives her a sleeping potion that will make her appear dead for two days and tells her to take it the night before her wedding to Paris. The Friar says he will send a message to Romeo letting him know of the plan so that he can find her in the tomb and they will be reunited when she awakes.

However, Romeo hears about Juliet’s death not through the Friar’s messenger, but from his servant. In grief, Romeo returns to the city determined to be with Juliet in her death. He goes to the apothecary and buys poison, then goes to Juliet’s tomb. There, he finds Paris who challenges him to a duel. Romeo kills Paris, then takes the poison and kills himself. Friar Lawrence arrives at the scene to find Romeo already dead. As Juliet awakens, he tries to pull her away from Romeo, but she refuses. Using Romeo’s dagger, she takes her own life. The two families find Romeo and Juliet dead together in the tomb and realize that they should put their feud behind them.
