Four hundred years after its debut, Romeo and Juliet still has the power to seduce, delight, and pierce the hearts of its audience. Driven by destiny and tormented by circumstance, the characters are consumed by their youthful zeal for love. After all, as Shakespeare writes, "Violent delights have violent ends."
Featuring many memorable characters, speeches, fights, and vows, Romeo and Juliet will find new life on Intime's stage this fall. It's a story both timeless and contemporary— and as fate and family push the two young lovers towards death, it reveals startling truths about the mistakes we make in passion.

Pericles is the summer blockbuster of Shakespeare plays: although a troublesome play for literary critics, Pericles was one of the most popular plays in England in the Bard's lifetime and continues to enthrall audiences in performance. We're running with the blockbuster theme with nods to classic Hollywood films set in the ambiguous "Ancient World" of pop culture--a strange hybrid of history, mythology, and pulp--including an original score in the adventure-movie style or Erich Wolfgang Korngold and John Williams. For more information on the Cradle Theatre Company and this production, see the company website.

Antigone is a young person who believes the world can be better. Surrounding her are lovers, teachers, family members, policemen, comedians - people trying to go about their lives. She wants more, but doesn't know how to get it; she demands change, but can't make it alone.
