Romeo
& Juliet and
West Side Story
The section opens with a display of annotated scripts, screenplays
and scores for Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Images
of Verona's tragic lovers will include watercolors by E. H.
Sothern of the production in which he co-starred with Julia
Marlowe and designs by Eugene Berman for Antony Tudor's ballet.
The doomed participants in more recent adaptations are also
featured. Designs, photographs and rehearsal notes by Jerome
Robbins represent the Broadway and film versions of West
Side Story, which is set in the area that is now Lincoln
Center for the Performing Arts. The exhibit ends with photographs
documenting the original and transformed facilities of The New
York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
