In Shakespeare’s tale of star-crossed lovers, Juliet asks the night, “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?”
Juliet’s question is often misunderstood to mean she is searching for Romeo rather than cursing the fact that her love is from an enemy family.
Playing off that common misinterpretation, organizers of the six-months-long, “Wherefore: Shakespeare in Raleigh” festival cheerfully respond: Romeo is here, along with Macbeth and Puck, Beatrice and Benedick, and a host of other characters from some of the Bard’s most well-known tragedies and comedies.
