Two wealthy families, the Montagues and the Capulets, are at war. But when Romeo (Montague’s son) meets Juliet (Capulet’s daughter) they fall into a forbidden love with devastating consequences.
Performed by Illyria in the great outdoors, this Shakespearean classic is passionate, poetic, and utterly gripping.
This is an outdoor production, so please bring your own chair or blanket to sit on and dress for the weather!
