Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor will star in Broadway's "Romeo+Juliet."

Gold directed this season’s buzzy play “An Enemy of the People” with Jeremy Strong and Michael Imperioli and has previously tackled the Bard with “Macbeth” starring Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga and “King Lear” led by Glenda Jackson. “With the presidential election coming up in November, I felt like making a show this fall that celebrates youth and hope, and unleashes the anger young people feel about the world they are inheriting,” Gold said in a statement.
