Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare
adapted by Niclas Olson
On the streets of Verona, a war between two powerful families has led to chaos and fear. But in the midst of chaos, a forbidden love will arise. This is the story of that love. And never was there a story of more woe… This is Romeo and Juliet. Set in a war-torn modern day Verona this adaptation strips away the baggage of “the greatest love story ever told” to reveal a hard hitting and intense story of war, family, and most of all love.
