NOTE FROM THE CO-CONCEIVER/SCRIPT COLLABORATOR As Karen Zacarías and I first met to discuss an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, one of our first conversations was about where to set the story. It was important to both of us that the play be placed in a time in which the stakes are so high that all of our characters believe they have no options other than the ones they take. And so, we moved Shakespeare’s classic tragedy from 16th-century Verona, Italy to the societal pressure-cooker of 1848 Alta, California (now Northern California).

One of our references was Testimonios: Early California through the Eyes of Women, 1815-1848 (edited and translated by Rose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz) which recounts numerous bloody battles of the period: Indigenous peoples revolts against Spanish settlers; marauders and pirates landing in the San Francisco Bay; twelve long years to gain independence from Spain; battles with the invading U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War and battles between families over resources, access and ancient grudges.

Besides being from warring families, the love between these two young women raises the stakes of the drama, making catholic Friar Lawrence’s blessing of their holy union particularly dangerous. There are historical examples of early California clergy – far away from both the Spanish crown and the Vatican in Rome - “going rogue” in the wild west.

My role in this adaptation was to set the time and place and to do the edits/cuts to Shakespeare’s text.

Karen did all the playwriting, both Spanish and additional English text. And the two of us collaborated with the brilliant dramaturg, Ken Cerniglia, who kept us on track regarding story and impact.

We’re very glad you’re here.

KJ Sanchez
