Experience the beauty, poetry and passion of Shakespeare’s greatest romance in this contemporary re-imagining by visionary director Tea Alagić (Jackie), where love and violence vie for the hearts and souls of these young star-crossed lovers.
“THIS ROMEO & JULIET IS ALIVE, MAD AND PLAYFUL. A modern-dress edition that amuses us with its audacity. Elizabeth Olsen is admirable. Most touching is T.R. Knight’s feral but sweet-natured Mercuito. Daniel Davis as Friar Laurence is extraordinary.” – Newsday |
