Shakespeare - Tragedy - Timeless
"Did My Heart Love Till Now?"
Act 1, Scene 5
After a chance meeting, a forbidden romance is ignited between two young lovers. In their parents’ world of violent ends, Romeo and Juliet manage to forge a connection across enemy lines. Despite the unending, violent feud between their two families, they will risk everything to be together.
Romeo and Juliet is both a beautiful and poetic love story and a relevant, cautionary tale about the price of division and hate. In this contemporary production of Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, an ensemble cast explores how all - especially the young - are punished when grudges and violence are the only language that those in power understand.
