Juliet & Jul-Yingtai

April 24-26, 2025

Yale Crescent Theater

Co-produced by Vermilion Theater Inc and Yale Vermilion Theater (affiliated with Yale University), the Vermilion Bilingual Theater Incubator aims to explore Mandarin-English bilingual adaptations of Classic Shakespeare plays and highlight crossovers with Chinese folktales. Drawing parallels between Juliet and Jul-Yingtai, this original play depicts inward journeys of self-exploration in murderous times, challenging the traditional archetypes of a hopeless romantic and star-crossed lovers.
