Romeo and Juliet, reimagined.

What if Romeo and Juliet did not die as teenagers, but lived on into old age? Tony Award-winner Ben Power (The Lehman Trilogy) has brilliantly taken Shakespeare’s words, rearranged and reimagined the play’s scenes, and the result is a provocative tale of lasting love and commitment. First staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company, this Romeo and Juliet is about the deep, caring relationship that can only be forged by time.

Co-Production with ROUND HOUSE THEATRE

The feel-everything musical.

“Impeccable,” proclaimed The Washington Post—a “vibrant musical revival.” Director Alan Paul infuses his production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical with live video and multimedia, capturing the psychology and inner life of the musical’s six characters in ways both intimate and epic. Centered around a family’s ongoing struggles to overcome issues from their past and the underpinnings of suburban life, Paul’s all-new production blew DC audiences away. And now it’s coming to Barrington Stage.

PRIMARY TRUST | SEPT 18–OCT 13 | ST. GERMAIN STAGE

By EBONI BOOTH

It’s not too late to begin again.

Kenneth, a 36-year-old bookstore worker, spends his evenings sipping mai tais at the local tiki bar with his best friend Bert. Unexpectedly shaken from his life of routine, Kenneth finally faces challenges he has long avoided—with transformative results. A funny and touching story of new beginnings, new friends, and the courage to see the world for the first time, The Observer says, Primary Trust “will restore your faith in theater’s elemental storytelling powers.”
