Vagabond Takes the Community by Storm                         Much like the storm of last winter, Vagabond Productions is taking their 2016 show in a new direction this year. Not only are they leaving The Faculty Lounge at UPEI, but they are also openly engaging the community. Romeo and Juliet takes place March 8th-12th in The Chapel at The Mount.               The production takes Dr. Greg Doran’s vision for Romeo and Juliet, which he has set in Belfast during The Troubles, over to The Chapel in The Mount Continuing Care Community Centre. By leaving The Faculty Lounge at UPEI, Vagabond Productions is reminding the community how vital the public is to the process.               Doran has opened up one of the world’s most beloved plays by setting it in Belfast, to explore the senselessness of the violence caused by religion.  "Shakespeare never explains the cause of the conflict between the Capulets and the Montagues, so the play can say something about any type of conflict. The idea came to me in Belfast, looking at the military style gates and walls in the neighbourhoods. They  reminded me of Juliet’s question to Romeo about how he overcame the walls of the orchard to see her.” Doran went on to say that The Troubles have always held an interest for him as a Catholic married to a Protestant. The venue was picked to enhance the play's focus on the violence caused by religious intolerance.               Romeo and Juliet runs from March 8th-12th at The Chapel in The Mount (141 Mount Edward Road). Doors open at 7, show begins at 7:30, admission is "pay what you can."
