Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare
adapted for performance 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. Adapted for performance by Niclas Olson, this edition of William Shakespeare's play 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. (6M, 4W)
