Folger Theatre opens its 2024/25 season with ‘Romeo and Juliet’

Raymond O. Caldwell directs Shakespeare's famous tragedy of star-crossed lovers against the backdrop of an election year.

Folger Theatre announces the opening of its 2024-25 season with William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, directed by award-winning director and producer Raymond O. Caldwell, on stage at the Folger Shakespeare Library, October 1–November 10, 2024. Framed within the Folger Shakespeare Library’s timely seasonal theme of Whose Democracy?, an exploration of political power and civic participation, this staging situates the world’s most famous romantic tragedy in a politically fraught, slightly fictionalized version of Washington, DC.

In a nod to our current election cycle, Caldwell’s fresh interpretation of star-crossed lovers marries the “uncivil strife” of Shakespeare’s Verona and the polarized political landscape of our nation’s capital. With the Capulets and Montagues envisioned as political rivals during a contested election season, this production delves into the politics of division and the violent consequences that arise when the systems designed to protect and guide society’s youth—familial, religious, and governmental—fail catastrophically.

“As I began conceptualizing this production of Romeo and Juliet for the Folger, the nerd in me was inspired to imagine a modern Shakespearean ‘metaverse,’” says director Raymond O. Caldwell (Blood at the Root at Theater Alliance and Passing Strange at Signature Theatre). “My brilliant team of collaborators and I are carefully crafting a universe that is both distant yet familiar to our nation’s capital in 2024. Here, we are encouraging audiences to grapple with how wealth, class, substance abuse, mass media consumption, politics, and tribalism shape our capacity for love and exacerbate violence.”

As the young lovers navigate their world of chaos and conflict, Folger Theatre’s Romeo and Juliet invites audiences to reflect on Generation Z’s place in conversations about love, power, and the future, making it a resonant exploration of democracy in crisis. “This production is Euphoria meets Succession by way of a Shakespearean theatricality viewed through the lens of the current political moment in America, offering a space for us to question how far we’d go for love,” continues Caldwell.

“Through Shakespeare, sometimes, we hear and see each other better,” says Karen Ann Daniels, Folger Director of Programming and Performance and Artistic Director of Folger Theatre. “Romeo and Juliet is an opportunity for us to stop and think about the next generation as we enter this hyper-political and often divisive season in our country. Where’s the love? Can we recognize and choose love in a world that is so polarized, so distracted, so numb, and lacking empathy? Will we let love lead us? Or will we allow politics to drive us to the edge? I think these are questions the next generation is thinking about and this production is going to bring the passion and hope that only young people can bring to our world.”

Bringing the iconic young lovers to life are Cole Taylor (Romeo) and Caro Reyes Rivera (Juliet), both making their Folger debuts. Todd Scofield (The Merry Wives of Windsor) and Fran Tapia (Folger Theatre debut) take on the roles of Lord and Lady Capulet, Juliet’s conflicted parents, in the throes of a hotly contested political campaign. The Montague family features Tony Nam (Much Ado About Nothing) as Lord Montague and Renee Elizabeth Wilson (last seen on the Folger stage this spring in Metamorphoses) as Lady Montague. Rounding out the cast are Giovanna Alcântara Drummond (Folger Theatre debut) and John Floyd (Our Verse in Time to Come) as close, loyal confidants of Romeo; Alina Collins Maldonado (King John) as the fiery Tybalt; Luz Nicholas (Folger Theatre debut) as Juliet’s devoted Nurse; Brandon Carter (Folger Theatre debut) as the well-intentioned Friar Lawrence; Deidra LaWan Starnes (Amadeus) as the Prince and Chorus; and Gabriel Alejandro (The Cuban Vote) as the romantic rival Paris.

Folger Theatre’s production of Romeo and Juliet is on stage at the Folger Shakespeare Library from October 1 – November 10, 2024. Tickets are $20-$84. Discounted preview performances and special rates for patrons under 35, students, seniors, members and family of the military, educators, and groups may be purchased through the Folger Theatre Box Office at (202) 544-7077 or online.
