The Hudson Warehouse presents, Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand and adapted by Joe Hamel. Philosopher, metaphysician, rhymer, brawler, and musician. Lover…by substitution. In this exciting adaptation, the Hudson Warehouse brings to the stage the infamous swordfight on Ovid’s Bridge where Cyrano fights “a hundred men.” The text only refers to this fight off-stage, but here we get to see Cyrano as the master of the rapier, fighting off a mob of hoodlums. Beautifully costumed by Drew Rosene, musical interludes composed by Tom Demenkoff, the talented cast makes this theatre experience something the whole family can enjoy.

Directed by Nicholas Martin-Smith.

The Hudson Warehouse presents, Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy written early in the career of playwright William Shakespeare about two young “star-cross’d lovers” whose deaths ultimately unite their feuding families. Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. The plot is based on an Italian tale, translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562, and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1582. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both, but developed supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris, in order to expand the plot. Believed to be written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in 1597. It was among Shakespeare’s most popular plays during his lifetime. Today, the lead characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers in this outdoor theater performance.
