About
Romeo & Juliet
By William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet find romance in a fiercely divided society, where loving may be the most dangerous act of all. Combining wild humor, breathtaking language, and an anarchy of the imagination, Shakespeare’s classic tale hurdles at a feverish pace, as these star-crossed lovers race to avoid their deadly fate.
Setting the play in a cosmopolitan world of Baroque excess, this production will immerse audiences in an explosive exploration of the age-old potential for neighbors to be divided by hate, united by love, and driven by burning passion.
