 Love
endures…as does the timeless classic of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In this
modern, fast-paced interpretation, we root and weep for the young lovers whose
dreams are shattered by the realities of life and family. Bitterness and
recrimination are juxtaposed with the poetry of attraction and desire, making
the story as relevant today as when audiences first experienced it. Audiences will experience
Shakespeare’s original text in a contemporary setting with the lovelorn Romeo and Juliet and their families dressed in
current day attire as the bittersweet tragedy unfolds on the streets of what
could be any major city in the world. There is open seating at each performance
and limited free tickets with reservations available for patrons.
