The Michael Greif-directed Romeo and Juliet - the first summer 2007 production of the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park - opened June 19 at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.

This production of Shakespeare's classic Romeo and Juliet marks the first time since 1968 that the tale of romantic woe has played the Delacorte.

Heading the cast in the title roles are Oscar Isaac and Lauren Ambrose. Also featured in the cast are Emmy winner Camryn Manheim as the Nurse and Austin Pendleton as Friar Laurence.

The production continues through July 8.
