U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito served as chief judge in the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s mock trial of Friar Laurence for the wrongful deaths of Romeo and Juliet in a suit brought by their parents. Elizabeth Prelogar was appealing a judgement against Friar Laurence. Karl Racine argued on behalf of Lord and Lady Montague and Lord and Lady Capulet.

While the judges were deliberating, theater staff talked to the audience about the play.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company Bard Association’s Winter Trial, “Romeo and Juliet: Wrongful Deaths?” was held on stage at Sidney Harman Hall. close
