REVIEWS / PRESS

Don’t look for a balcony in Tea Alagić ’s terrifically nervy Romeo & Juliet. That lofty structure, and the romantic trappings it symbolizes, isn’t in the Bosnian director’s playbook. But her minimalist approach to Shakespeare gives this tragedy what it needs.
– TimeOut New York

This newest take on Shakespeare’s tragic lovers rises on the chemistry of its leads. Elizabeth Olsen is in command of her sensuality and her man. Julian Cihi, a talented newcomer, brings savvy and charm to Romeo in Tea Alagić ’s edgy production.
– NBC New York

This Romeo & Juliet Is alive, mad and playful. A modern-dress edition that amuses us with its audacity.
