Christopher Hale plays Tybalt, chief antagonist of Romeo in this well known but less understood of the Shakespearean cannon. Hale embodies a stubborn character whose pride provokes the pace of the drama. Versed with the rapier, Hale as Tybalt incites the play until in vengeance mistook as virtue he wins the sting of death. Directed by Anya Saffir of the Atlantic Theater and NYU/Tisch, this was the premier outing of the Tragedians of the City and staged at the Chernuchin Theater of the American Theater of Actors. |

"In my many viewings of 'Romeo and Juliet' and its variations, I don’t think I’ve ever been more caught up in the fate of these star-crossed lovers.”
