  This very special production of Shakespeare’s famous Romeo and Juliet has been edited by James R. Hartman, professor of theatre at Schoolcraft College, for more accessibility and ease of understanding. Love and death are intermingled when two passionate teenagers find their hearts’ desires in each other’s arms, despite the feuding between their families. To be united with each other, they devise a plan in defiance of the families’ bitter tensions. Unforeseen events cause their desperate scheme to go tragically awry. Hartman’s edited version of Romeo and Juliet results in an enjoyable, easy-to-follow performance filled with the hope, love, and pain of these two ‘star-crossed lovers.’
