Annotation:
	Explores influence of Carla Freccero’s essay "Romeo and Juliet Love Death" (q.v.) on José Zayas’s 2022 Romeo and Juliet at the American Shakespeare Center (q.v.), a production that emphasized the play's queerness and foregrounded its portrayal of self-harm and suicide. Describes this production's engagement with scholarly theory as an outlier for the ASC, which has traditionally based its theatrical practices on new historicist and cultural materialist scholarship. English summary, 51.
