Last year, Two River Theater
launched a partnership with Off-
Broadway’s National Asian American
Theatre Company (NAATCO)
and their Artistic Director Mia
Katigbak (Two River’s I Remember
Mama). Two River is currently
working on an ambitious project
to produce a festival built around
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
As a part of that project, they plan
to co-produce this modern verse
translation of the Shakespeare
classic by South Korean playwright,
Hansol Jung (Wild Goose
Dreams, Cardboard Piano) with
NAATCO. The translation was originally
commissioned by Oregon
