While both playwrights\, writing at the same time used the same sources for their plays\, there is no evidence that either was aware of the other’s work. \n•   There are many similarities in the plots and\, of course\, significant differences\, not least of which is the fact Lope created a comedy from the material while Shakespeare created a tragedy. \n•   There is a broad correlation between scenes in both plays: a party scene in which the lovers fall in love at first sight\, a fight scene and killing after which the male protagonist is sent into exile\, a farewell scene in the garden between the lovers\, a sleeping draught that induces a death-like state in the female protagonist\, and a scene in a crypt. \n•   This is an English version produced especially for the Shakes. \n•   This may be the first production in Ireland of a play by Lope de Vega.  It is certainly the first in living memory \n•   By attending the show get the opportunity to evaluate how two masters of world theatre shaped brilliant but very different plays from the same source material. \nCheck out the interview with the Director – Paul Maher – HERE URL:https://www.dublinshakespearesociety.ie/event/the-capulets-and-montagues/ LOCATION:The Teachers’ Club\, 36 Parnell Square West\, Dublin\, Dublin\, D01 T6V6\, Ireland CATEGORIES:Events,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.dublinshakespearesociety.ie/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/facebook-100.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Dublin Shakespeare Society":MAILTO:info(at)dublinshakespearesociety.ie END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
