Theatre Production - Romeo and Juliet

7:30 p.m.

Hyde Hall, Shanklin Theatre, University of Evansville Campus, 1800 Lincoln Ave, Evansville, IN

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Wes Grantom ’03

In fair Verona, an age-old feud between two poweful families erupts in bloodshed, and a group of masked party-crashers push the envelope, setting in motion a story, of both sweeping romance and heartbreaking tragedy.  Considered one of Shakespeare’s best plays, the chaos and passion of being in love is juxtaposed with the obstacles and limitations that an “ancient grudge” places upon the young lovers.  Our star-crossed teens, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, make both reckless and feckless choices about who to trust and discover the fruits of their “forbidden” love are not sweet at all.  “For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
