About the Project:
What if you didn't just watch Romeo & Juliet? What if you stepped inside Verona?

WhatNot Theatrics presents an immersive adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet set in Verona, Italy, in 1913. Rather than sitting in a theatre watching the story unfold in front of you, audiences will enter the world of Verona and encounter its characters throughout Seattle's historic Stimson-Green Mansion.

This is an adaptation rooted in Shakespeare's original text, while expanding the world beyond the traditional scenes and allowing the audience to experience the story from many different perspectives.
