By William Shakespeare
Reinterpreted and Directed by Søren Olsen
From its chaotic, unorthodox opening brawl, Søren Olsen’s Romeo and Juliet delivers a bold, unapologetic reimagining that challenges the legacy of Shakespeare’s classic romance. Hot-mess celebrity parties, perilous make-outs, and passion-fueled duels collide in this director-designer’s vision of theatrical candy. Barreling forward at breakneck speed and interlaced with the iconic text, this highly physical production offers its own tragic answer to the question: Why do we keep letting love die?
Please be advised that this production includes haze, flashing lights, profanity, depictions of violence and self harm, and moments of loud sounds.
