THE LAST GooDBYE
Directed and Adapted by Michael Kimmel
Music and Lyrics by Jeff Buckley
Williamstown Theatre Festival, 2010
The songs of late singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley come to life in The Last Goodbye, a new stage musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, which had its world-premiere engagement Aug. 5 at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. Conceived and adapted from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet by Michael Kimmel, an ensemble of fourteen singer/actors bring to life the lyrical beauty of two great poets set in a world of youthful angst, grandeur and grit.
