Riverona - Episodes 1 & 2

A high concept and hilarious retelling of Romeo and Juliet, this brand-new script has been described as Riverdale meets Wet Hot American Summer meets… well, Shakespeare. For the first time, Full Circle Theatre is bringing all four episodes of Riverona to Calgary stages, performed in repertory. Over only two nights, you'll be able to see four one-act plays ("episodes"). Join us to see the show that will redefine “Summer Shakespeare” this June and July!
