Romeo and Juliet in a Jewish Adaptation - E-book - ePub

ROMEO and JULIET in a Jewish Adaptation by David Serero. Performed in June 2019 off-Broadway, adapted and directed by David Serero, this unique production received critical acclaim for its World Premiere adaptation. This adaptation features one Sephardic family against one Ashkenazi family as well as songs and humour of both cultures. David Serero is widely known for his signature of theatrical adaptations (which he adapts, directs and produces) introducing classics to a broader audience with unique adaptations, by adding what he calls his "touch of champagne".
His recent adaptations are "Cyrano de Bergerac" featuring Jazz standards, "Othello" in a Moroccan style, "The Merchant of Venice" in a Sephardi style, "Romeo and Juliet" (in a Jewish adaptation) and many more. David has also brought operas in a more accessible format (Don Giovanni, Nabucco, Nozze di Figaro) with unique adaptations, as well as bringing back to life important works of literature such as the Jew of Malta, The Yiddish King Lear, and Napoleon by Stanley Kubrick.
