Romeo and Juliet: Time Enough for Love

Open Fist Theatre Company reimagines Shakespeare’s most famous lovers by asking what happens when Romeo and Juliet fall in love at 75 instead of 14. Shakespeare’s language remains intact, but Verona becomes Verona Village, a South Florida retirement community where romance, family interference, desire, rebellion, and social expectations take on an entirely different meaning later in life.

Conceived, adapted, and directed by Christian Lebano, the production stars Alan Blumenfeld and Katherine James as the star-crossed lovers, revealing how Shakespeare’s poetry changes when spoken by characters carrying decades of experience, memory, and loss. The performance runs until December 19.
