ABOUT THE PLAY.​

Based on the play by William Shakespeare
Adapted and Directed by Luke Manual
Choreographed by Yasha Wilson


Dingbat re-imagines Shakespeare's romantic tragedy of star-crossed lovers with dueling drag hauses, The Haus of Montague and The Haus of Capulet. Shakespearean text is woven in and amongst club music, burlesque performance, and drag artistry in this stirring, emotional, and high energy production.

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Romeo and Juliet Act II, Scene 1 
William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet is the most enduring love story of all time. The play is infused with drama, passion, and theatricality. We are so excited to share our drag-infused version of Shakespeare's timeless romance with our audience just in time for Pride Month this Summer.
