Romeo & Juliet
“Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life.” In Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet meet at a party and it is love at first sight. However, the long-standing feud between their families threatens to keep them apart. Violence and bloodshed ensue as they navigate forbidden love and its fatal consequences. Tickets
