Sarah Corbyn Woolf and Roen talk prep for their upcoming Romeo & Juliet at Advice to the Players, where Sarah's directing and Beks is playing an aspec Romeo! We discuss our excitement about an aromantic and/or asexual reading of Romeo & Juliet, and how aspec and queer Shakespeare dramaturgies help us humanize a story that's been idealized into legend.
