William Shakespeare's

ROMEO & JULIET

September 31 - November 7, 2015

Law and order is unable to quell an ancient and violent feud between the two wealthiest families of Verona. Fate steps in and introduces the rivals’ teenage progeny who fall in love at first sight. Can the intensity of young love undo their parents’ enduring hatred, or is love’s unbridled desire so intense that it will destroy the lovers themselves? Shakespeare’s greatest romantic tragedy is a timeless and powerful depiction of the fever pitch and madness of young love, celebrating both its ability to save and to destroy.

Presented in rotating repertory with Machiavelli's THE MANDRAKE.

REVIEWS

“The Quintessence Theatre's production of Romeo and Juliet shows that, by drawing on and combining varied aesthetic influences, even one of Shakespeare's most well-known plays can be a source of new enlightenment.”
