Romeo and Juliet
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is the most famous love story ever written.
This stunning production will delight audiences with the combination of its delightful location, its star-crossed lovers, its comic relief, its Bollywood ball and its swashbuckling energy. Celebrating the joy of love, the power of family, the value of friends and the futility of hate; this is a tale that will melt the hardest heart and inspire the better part of human nature.
Two young lovers from feuding households, challenge the bitter division of their families to risk everything to be together. This famous story of love at first sight explodes with intense passion and an irresistible desire for change, acceptance and true connection.
“This entire production is a delight…a fine way to spend a summer evening” - The Age
Presented by The Australian Shakespeare Company.
