Romeo and Juliet

By William Shakespeare

My only love, sprung from my only hate.
Too early seen unknown, and known too late.
Prodigious birth of love it is to me
That I must love a loathed enemy

Two young people meet and fall in love. It should be simple.

But Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet – and the ancient grudge between their two families threatens to ignite again and destroy them both. When the younger generation is caught up in a culture of hatred and violence, can love blossom or even survive?

This exciting and energetic new outdoor production retells Shakespeare’s enduring tale through the eyes of youth—a generation abandoned by their elders and struggling to understand their emotions in a world they didn’t create. Love versus hate—which will win out in the end?

Get ready to fall in love this summer with the most famous romance of all time!
