Paul in Romeo and Juliet

Word is that Paul has landed the role of Benvolio in a new production of Romeo and Juliet. Benvolio is a cousin and friend of Romeo's who talks Romeo into crashing the Capulet party where he first sees Juliet. He is also active in the critical scene in which Mercutio (a Montague) is slain by Tybalt (a Capulet), who is, in turn, slain by Romeo (a Montague). The production will be done with an all male cast, as it was done in Shakespeare's time. It will be directed by Anya Saffir, whom Paul worked with at Atlantic Theater and directed Three Little Pigs. Should be a great experience! Shakespeare!
