Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare & Company

Two families, more alike than different, are embroiled in an ancient grudge. But this bitterness is no match for the boundless passion of Romeo and Juliet who see the world, and each other, with fresh eyes and open hearts. As their love blossoms in the heat of a summer's night, they discover unlimited passion and the language to match it.

A miracle of human expression, Romeo and Juliet reminds us of what it is to swear by the moon, to see the sun in another person, and to risk the consequences hanging in the stars. A cast of S&Co. veterans and newcomers take on this universal tale of violence between and within families. Filled with loyalty and rebellion, courage and recklessness, desire and revenge, Romeo and Juliet is a story of a timeless love and a love for all times. (At the Founders' Theatre)
