It was in rehearsals for another Stratford Romeo and Juliet — Tim Carroll’s in 2013 — that Yared and Farb first met. That’s a blessing in any production of Romeo and Juliet, an enduringly popular play that’s incredibly difficult to get right. It’s a tall order for any two young actors, and neither Farb nor Yared thought anyone would ever ask them to take it on. I think of Hamlet when I see Antoine play Romeo; they’re not dissimilar.”“Our portrayals I think are going to challenge the audience’s expectations,” Yared said. Romeo and Juliet is at the Festival Theatre in Stratford till Oct. 21.
