In this production, director Dale Gutzman turns the Shakespeare classic on its head. Setting the play in a 1960s-era Italian retirement home, Gutzman and his longtime “artistic muse” Marilyn White portray two elderly residents who take on the title teenage roles. It’s an intimate, clever idea for a show — the sort that Off the Wall has become known for. At Off the Wall Theatre, 127 E. Wells St., Milwaukee. Shows are at 7:30 p.m. except on Sundays, when the curtain rises at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $25. Call 414-484-8874 or visit offthewalltheatre.com.
