\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Spanish-speaking Brown students, from February through April, will work with Latino students to interpret this timeless play that\u2019s also a play for our times. &nbsp;Leonard Bernstein\u2019s popular musical,&nbsp;<em>West Side Story<\/em>, transformed the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets into an urban gang war between the Krips and the Bloods. In his hit movie, Baz Luhrman transported the warring families to \u201cVerona Beach\u201d in Florida or California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play raises questions that are as urgent now as in 16th&nbsp;c. Verona or London. Who is responsible for these feuds, families who tolerate them, gangs that mandate them, or the individual young men who carry them out? What is the role of parents or families in perpetuating them? How might religious leaders or civil authorities control or end this violence\u2014by laws, by moral persuasion, by offering alternative activities and pursuits? What do such feuds offer to those who pursue them\u2014a sense of power and self-esteem, social validation, the comfort of belonging to a group?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These problems hit Latino communities in Providence (where 40% of the population is Spanish-speaking) especially hard. To make Shakespeare\u2019s play fully accessible to Latino students, we are offering&nbsp;<em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em>&nbsp;in Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In partnership with the Providence Community Library, faculty from Brown\u2019s departments of English and Hispanic Studies are training Brown students to work with middle-schoolers at Del Sesto Middle School, Roger Williams Middle School, Leviton Dual Language School, and Sophia Academy. This program will culminate in performance of scenes from&nbsp;<em>Romeo y Julieta<\/em>&nbsp;on El D\u00eda de los Ni\u00f1os, Saturday, April 30, at Knight Memorial Library.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/firstfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/01\/RIHlogo.png\" alt=\"Rhode Island Council for the Humanities\" class=\"wp-image-468\" style=\"width:160px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/firstfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/01\/RIHlogo.png 300w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/firstfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/01\/RIHlogo-100x50.png 100w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/firstfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/01\/RIHlogo-150x75.png 150w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/firstfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/01\/RIHlogo-200x100.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This project is made possible through major funding from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, an independent state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
