ROMEO & JULIET
presented by Company X
- - - -
Escalating hostilities between age-old adversaries bring two families to the edge of murder – to end the violence the authorities must invoke the ultimate penalty – death to anyone who disturbs the peace.
When the children of sworn enemies fall in love, their passion becomes embroiled in their families' hate. Forced to keep their love hidden, a reckless act of revenge threatens to keep them apart. A succession of fatal errors jeopardize their very survival, and the fate of their future together becomes a race against time.
"My Only Love Sprung From My Only Hate".
Arguably Shakespeare's most famous play, his dark tale of secret love erupts onto the stage in this contemporary high-energy performance. With a strong visual style and original musical score, Company X has created a production with all the urgency of love at first sight. Can we control our own fate or are our destinies written in the stars?
