Theater 2020, as previously announced here, is presenting Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the Heights this summer. Instead of Renaissance Italy, this production will be set in contemporary India Brooklyn Heights, with a traveling acting troupe portraying Hindus and Muslims in present-day Verona, Italy (got that?). Romeo will be Hindu and Juliet Muslim. The play will be staged in air-conditioned comfort at St. Charles Borromeo Church, 21 Sidney Place, at the following dates and times: Thursday, July 14 at 7:00 p.m.; Friday, July 15 at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, July 16 at 8:00 p.m.; Sunday, July 17 at 3:00 p.m.; Thursday, July 21 at 7:00 p.m.; Friday, July 22 at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, July 23 at 8:00 p.m.; and Sunday, July 24 at 3:00 p.m. Tickets for these performances are $18; please make your reservations here. There will also be two free, no reservation required, outdoor performances, weather permitting, at Pier 1, Brooklyn Bridge Park, on Saturday, July 30 at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday, July 31 at 2:00 p.m.
