Romeo and Juliet in Harlem - the movie is exactly what it sounds like- a retelling of the classic Shakespeare play Romeo & Juliet with Harlem, New York as the backdrop. The combination of the plays poetic text delivered in the modern world is pretty compelling to say the least. Check our the trailer below and the film Saturday, November 1 at Hattiloo Theatre with director Aleta Chappelle scheduled to attend! Special thanks to Pearce Shakespeare Endowment, the Rhodes College Office of Multicultural Affairs, Rhodes Africana Studies Program, Rhodes Center for Outreach in Development of the Arts (CODA), the African and African American Studies Program at the University of Memphis, and Hattiloo Theater for making this screening possible. https://youtube/watch?v=j1CVtwdZWO8
