X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This month we will be reading the play <st
 rong>"Romeo and Juliet"</strong> by William Shakespeare and discussing it 
 along its most most iconic musical adaption\, "<strong>West Side Story."&n
 bsp\;</strong></p>\n<p>One of Shakespeare's most cherished plays\, Romeo a
 nd Juliet tells the story of who have become archetypal but doomed titular
  young lovers from rival families in Renaissance Verona. After a brief and
  chance meeting\, Romeo and Juliet attempt to defy their familial obligati
 ons to pursue but both lose their lives in the process.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><st
 rong>"West Side Story"</strong> sets the Shakespeare tragedy in a mid 20th
  century Upper West Side of Manhattan with the principal lovers being from
  different ethnic backgrounds and different gang affiliations. The book of
  the show was written by a young Stephen Sondheim.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;It's origi
 nal 1958 production won Tony Awards for Best Choreography for Jerome Robbi
 ns and Best Scenic Design. The musical was then adapted into the 1961 film
  classic of the same\, and again by Stephen Spielberg in 2021. The musical
  was briefly revived recently in early 2020 before being quickly shut down
  during Covid closures of Broadway theatres and never reopened.&nbsp\;</p>
