[Comedias] Romeos & Julietas: All Alike in Dignity - Friday, April 9, 3-5pm PST

[AHCT Listserv]

Hello,
Are you all aware of my article on a  lovely Stratford-upon-Avon  fringe
production of Castelvines (Capulets)  juxtaposed  with a rather panned RSC
production of Romeo and Juliet back in  2007 or so?

“Aspectual, Performative, and ‘Foreign’ Lope / Shakespeare: Staging *Capulets
& Montagues*and *Peribáñez*in English and *Romeo + Juliet*in ‘Sicilian.’” *The
Comedia in English*. Eds. Susan Paun de García & Donald Larson. Tamesis
(Boydell & Brewer, UK), 2008. 214-28.


Best,

Susan Fischer
