An American in Yerevan: Directing an Armenian “Romeo and Juliet” for the Verona Shakespeare Fringe Festival with Possible References to “Coriolanus” and “As You Like It”

My first project as Director of the Sundukyan Centre for Global Production and Research at the National Theatre of Armenia is a production of Romeo and Juliet, which premieres July 23rd at the 2026 Verona Shakespeare Fringe Festival. This multi-media talk describes the show’s directorial approach, including issues relevant to the venues, adaptation, dramaturgy, casting, scenography, costumes, music, and acting of the production.  Includes images, drawings, designs, inspirations, and – if we’re lucky – a joke or two!
